I love games in this weather - I just hope the gunners defence make more mistakes than we do.

Here's hoping it suits Benteke against them.

Beautiful weather..Benteke will run rings around them!! Off to watch in a Gooners pub for a bit of fun..may have to show restraint..have a good feeling about today..C'mon da Villa!

I hate missing games, but if i'm going to miss any I prefer it when the weather is like this!

Bent left out.

we are relying on bent to save our season again come january - only this time we are hoping to sell him to raise a few quid to get better players in and save our skins
