The Mighty Aston Villa vs Swansea Pre-Match Thread

[Chris Jameson]

8-0 to Villa please, bringing my son to the game for his birthday and one of his mates is a Swansea supporter.

In reality, a draw.

It's going to be a very tough game, Swansea apparently played their best football of the season in the first half against Liverpool and did everything except score. We'll need to turn up for more than 45 minutes to get anything from this but it will be interesting to see how Sherwood approaches the game. There's a big possibility Monk will look to exploit our full backs with two wingers and as good as Bacuna is going forward, I wouldn't be surprised to see Hutton back for his defensive qualities.

Hard fought 2 -0 Villa win.

Well, after calling it right last week I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that it wasn't pure luck...

I think it will be a tight affair against Swansea and Villa will win by the odd goal...1-0

The atmosphere will be electric again and Cleverley will have goosebumps on his goosebumps.

I have gone for a draw. Swansea are quite possibly the most unpredictable team in the Premier League.

Think we might nick this 1-0. Benteke scoring

2-0 to freescoring Aston Villa.

Important we keep up the momentum with a win here, especially given what we face in April.

I fear for us, I dread, my heart sinks etc etc oops sorry those pre match threads are behind us.

They looked quite good against Liverpool (who we beat btw) with a nice style of footy but on the basis that we need it more than them, I think we will win 3-1.

2-0 win. 4 wins on the spin, what is this voodoo?

[villa_cads]

I've gone for a Villa win, 2-1, one a piece at half time. I no longer worry about us in front of goal, but the defence should come under more pressure against Swansea than the last two opponents managed. Despite Bacuna's brilliance going forward at Sunderland, I do worry about him defensively, so I'd bring Hutton back in.

[Smirker]

Worried about this one. Swansea are a good team. I'd have taken a draw had Burnley lost last week but this is a must win.

Can't call it.

Despite our recent resurgence I believe this will be a tight match with plenty of squeeky bum time!
