Aston Villa v Manchester City Pre-Match Thread

[UK Redsox]

Its a day out

It might not rain

That's about the only positives I can think of

[Goldie.7]

0-6 them

[PaulWinch again]

I think we'll struggle in this one, 0-3.

[Damo70]

We will lose. I'm just hoping for a plucky narrow defeat as opposed to a battering.

City have banged in 9 goals in their last 2 games and will come here full of confidence - our home form is really poor and i fear a heavy beating is on the cards sadly.
We need to find a style of play that entertains and gives us chance of getting results at home as this home form has gone on far too long - we look a totally different team in away games.
Now with okore and benteke out for a long spell it looks a far more depressing scenario than a month ago
Forecast 0-4

[paulcomben]

An away banker, it might only be 0-1 but City will win.

These days Man U, Man C, Liverpool, Arsenal and now Chelsea and even Spurs never have an off day at Villa Park, but sometimes do at places like Southampton and Norwich 

Cardiff, too. But they scored twice from corners.

[levico]

Villa 0 man City shed load.

Rarely have I been so certain of another bad home defeat. It's depressing stuff for fans that only go to home matches.

[dekko]

0-2

They'll win, but it wont be as bad as you think.

[Stu]

Watch us get a draw now.

[The Adventurer]

The optimism of the first 3 games is now sadly a distant memory. Try as I might,I can't see anything but a comfortable 3 or 4-0 victory for Man City. Really can't see us scoring & the defensive frailties are still there for all to see.

Oh well,at least I can have a few beers before & after!!

[Mortimer's Bear]

A shock 2-1 home win

Kovak, Vlaar

[David_Nab]

A) Can't see us keeping a clean sheet

B)No Benteke can't see us scoring

[Salsa Party Animal]

Villa 1 City 7

[eastie]

Villa 1 City 7

The sad thing is I'm not sure you are joking

[darren woolley]

2-0 To City.
