I desperately want to beat these lot.

3 -1 Villa

6 points at the end of the first week when we could possibly have expected 0 would be an excellent start to the season.

We've had the win, we've had the defeat so it's time for the draw. And as it's an evening kick-off I'm going for a cracking 2-2 or 3-3.

I don't think Liverpool have the firepower in all honesty

But do we have the defence?

I feel a lot more confident with it this year. Okore is a beast with so much pace. Chelsea scored an unfortunate own goal and their second was offside.

Agreed.  Liverpool are starting to find their feet under Rodgers and I think it being at home makes it more tricky than if we were playing at their place.

As for the team I would make two changes from last nights game, if Clark's fitness is a bit iffy I would go with Okore to partner Vlaar at the back.  In midfeld I would give Ireland his first start a head of El Ahmadi who just think is a bit light weight and drifts through games. If Ireland is at it I see him as a better option to sit deep and be a ball player making the odd runs forward.

1-1

Some bloke in a shell suit and a silly perm for them.

Terrible timing to be taking a holiday. No doubt I'll be surrounded by plastic scousers in the bar. Would love to see them crying into their beer.

3-1 win
