Aston Villa v Liverpool Pre-Match Thread

[NiiLamptey]

I think we will be 2-1 up with 10 mins to go and it end 2 - 2 with us all really upset we threw it away...

[Steve R]

I'm looking forward to a really exciting game.

Villa 7 (Benteke 3, Weimann 2, Bennett, Lerner)
Liverpool 4 (John, Paul, George, Sylla(og))

2-2

Weimann and Benteke for us
Suarez and a late late Gerrard free kick or penalty for them (with it not being a foul)

2-2 on Sunday I reckon. As for that famous night of 15th December 1976, I have always wondered how Derby and Derek Hales got on. I'm sure I heard somewhere it was a 0-0 draw.

It was. As Gary Newbon said, "I said in the M&B box at Villa Park with a pie and a pint and my heart sank with every goal."

Cheers Dave. Can you answer my questions a bit quicker though in future? If I have to hang around for three minutes and seven seconds every time I just won't bother asking.

1-0 early,then praying 4  the ref to blow the whistle............aggy

Lets roll back the years to a Wednesday night many years ago - maybe the best game I have ever seen - ...... was it 5-1?

I would take that Sunday ! And that was against a good Pool side - these are beatable

It was 5-1 at half time - we felt sorry for them second half - plus Emlyn Hughes was so pissed off he did all he could to stop us scoring more.

As I remember it we were 4-0 up after 20mins....and Keegan booked for dissent!. I think Ray Kennedy scored for them?

[eamonn]

I thought footage of the 5-1 had been unearthed in recent years. Probably dodgy footage - the mid-70's equivalent of ITV recording FA Cup games from amongst the crowd on a Nokia 600 but it'd be summat.

Depends which Liverpool show up. I'd take a draw though.

[MonsXI]

I went for a draw but think we can take all 3 points!

If both Clark and baker are injured I can't see us conceding less than two.id hope that baker's injury isn't too serious. Clark seems to have a shoulder problem.

[Eugene Fraxby]

Liverpool are eminently beatable. However they won't be as poor as they were against Southampton again and if they play well they should beat us in all honesty.

Should be a high-scoring game, I just fancy our defence to be slightly worse than theirs.

Very little info about why Clark went off, but it is concerning. Baker was concussed wasn't he? I imagine he will be fine by now?

3-2 to the Villa Benteke (2) Lowton.
