Aston Villa vs Arsenal Pre-Match Thread

Sadly, we don't have a cat in hells chance on Saturday.

Really?

Its realistic.  Don't get me wrong, its been a good start and the win at
Anfield was great, but we went there at a good time with players missing for them.  Arsenal will simply have far too much quality for us and I expect us to be well beaten

Don't Arsenal currently only have 3 fit defenders?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Feel buoyed by the fact that Arsenal have a game in Europe against Dortmund this week, hopefully they'll be knackered against us.

1-1.

Nobody is saying it won't be difficult, but by saying ant you did you are making out we are like a non league side playing Real Madrid.

Hoping they pick up some injuries tonight.

1 nil to the Villa, with a Chrissy Price type break away goal for Mr A.Hutton

Didnt we also have 3 of our best players out ? Have a bit of faith man.

I've predicted a defeat for us in every single game this season and given the way it's gone, I don't plan on changing that now !

1-1 draw

Lets just think .....win saturday ...... then following week top two meet ........who would have predicted that?

Anyone think there could be a surprise name on the subs bench?

Win it and we go top.  Then, hope Man City beat Chelsea on Sunday so we stay top for at least a week.  Then, league is suspended indefinitely due to war with Scotland.

I have gone for the win. The players will go into it confident and Arsenal have a tough midweek CL game. Also, as a betting man I never have the confidence in Arsenal that I have in Man City, Chelsea or Man United to win potentially tricky away games.

[PeterWithesShin]

1-1, but I can't help but have a sneaky feeling we will lose 1-2.

[PaulWinch again]

I suspect we'll lose 1-3.
