Manchester United vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread Saturday 29 March 12.45

They are hurting badly and will want to give something back to their fans.

We, in turn, sank to new depths against Sturk. We will get mauled.

[Concrete John]

2-2

That is all.

[not3bad]

United will need a no-mark mid table team to bully to show they can still win in front of their mob of glory seekers.

Same score as the home match, with the exception of a possible consolation from Gabby to celebrate his pay cut.

[Des Little]

Down on your luck?  Desperately need a win? Then play the Villa.

Usual drill - United 2 Villa 0

[Smirker]

We will win ffs.

Man U 1 - 3 Villa.

 

[Lucky Eddie]

'Rah, rah, rah; we're going to smash the oiks'!

[Jane]

3-0 to them.  As usual.

I stopped having any optimism when playing this lot a long time ago.

[supertom]

We should have a new third kid where we dress all our players as waiters or maids. To be used whenever we play Utd.

Lovely stuff

Gabby to score the winner this weekend 2-1 to us.

[Tuscans]

Sounds like KEA is out, Weimann ok.

Personally I would leave Andi on the bench...for a while...he hasn't really done anything since he scored the winner against Man.City and has only scored 4 goals all season.

I think Utd will beat us, they love playing us no matter how much in the shit they are. But...turn up like we did against Chelsea, Liverpool then anything is possible.

[Clampy]

It's a shame KEA is out, he's been effective in the last few games. He'll go with Sylla I would have thought but I quite like the idea of giving Clark a game in there. He's played there before.

Karim El Ahmadi is an injury doubt for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash against Manchester United.

El Ahmadi was forced off during the first half in last weekend's 4-1 defeat to Stoke City after picking up a thigh strain.

And the 29-year-old midfielder is struggling in his race to be fit for the trip to Old Trafford.

But Andreas Weimann, who also left the field against Stoke after suffering a dead leg, should be fit to face the Red Devils.

"Andi is okay but Karim is struggling at the minute," said boss Paul Lambert.

Villa face Man Utd on Saturday, with a 12.45pm kick-off.

They will be looking to bounce back from the loss to the Potters.

United come into the match on the back of a defeat in the derby against Man City.

Would rather see Bennett in midfield than sylla to be honest.

[PeterWithesShin]

Sylla has really disappointed this season. I thought he looked a decent player last season and he more than played his part in our improvement. He's been pretty crap this season though.
