I fear spurs are becoming a bit of a bogey side for us. They've got a lot of quality in midfield and that's where we're weakest especially at the moment. 2-0 defeat for me.

Would be great if benteke is fit but I wouldn't risk him as I'd say it's more important to have him fully fit in November and December where I think he can plunder a few goals.

Guzan - Lowton vlaar Clark Luna - bacuna Westwood Delph gabby - Weimann - kozak

Though I expect Lowton will still be out of favour so won't be in the team yet.

If West Ham can beat them, we can certainly beat them. League cup aside they are not scoring many goals yet (1 or 2 have been penalties too) and our confidence must be fairly high at the minute. I reckon we can get a long overdue win over them. This is not blind optimism as I am fairly often pessimistic about other matches some of you lot reckon we will win.

3-2 Villa

Kozak to have a blinder, Bacuna continuing his decent run of firm with the third goal.

But Villa being Villa we will be holding on for dear life well into injury time.

Keep Andros Townsend quiet, god knows how and we may just stand a good chance. If Benteke is fit it would be a massive boost for us in this game.
I have gone for a draw but a win is possible.

About time we beat this lot. Can't see it though.

[PaulWinch again]

Going to be very tough, but our decent start to the season means there's less pressure on us which will hopefully help.

[Damo70]

2-2. I would take a point quite happily to be honest.

Maybe they might score the 7 goals Man City were going to?
