Aston Villa vs Leicester City Pre-Match Thread

I'd expect about 29-30k ?

I'm thinking 32+, we're in relatively good form, Benteke's back, and I'd expect Leicester to fill out the away end.

1 win in 10 .... do we class that as good form for us these days?

Four games unbeaten following a long run of losses.

I'd definitely agree with "relatively good form" compared to what preceded it.

Particularly when all 4 teams were in a rich vein of form. It's a minor miracle we came out unscathed.

My thoughts exactly.

Funny thing, "current" form. Nobody can ever decide how long is "current" but it always suits their argument.

Palace had lost 4 of the previous 7.

But the 2 games immediately before ours saw an impressive draw away at Swansea and they beat Liverpool 3-1.

Gerry Hitchens got five in the 11-1 win, it was one of the better days i spent watching Villa.

Looking forward to going to Villa Park, without doubt the finest traditional stadium in the land.

I think we have between us just proved Mr Woodhall's point about the flexibility of the concept of current form!

Well, Robbo, a venerable age you must be. Maybe you were sitting on Dad's knee?
My first visit was a couple of years later as I am but a youngster!

Really need to win this or the win at palace will count for nothing. 2-0 win,Benteke scoring both

Gerry Hitchens was my uncle, my claim to fame. Watched the world cup final in all his kit and an England cap on, I was 6. Loved it
