Manchester City vs The Magnificent Aston Villa Pre-Victory Thread

[tom jennings III]

Any team news yet?

[Toronto Villa]

Won't be any for a bit yet with the game at 5.30

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Doh, just raced back from a wine tasting in Porto to watch the game thinking it was 3pm KO.

Oh well, Burnley - Leicester looks fun.

[Clampy]

It'll be interesting to see what the team is actually. Will he put Sanchez and Gabby back in? The spotlight will be on Grealish after this week so he may leave him out, who knows?

4-2 Citeh

[Toronto Villa]

Sherwood said of Grealish that if his head isn't right he won't play. So we'll see. I can see Gabby missing this one and back for next week.

[Legion]

Guzan, Bacuna, Okore, Vlaar, Richardson, Sanchez, Westwood, Cleverley, Delph, Grealish, Benteke.
SUBS: Given, Weimann, Cole, Senderos, Cissokho, N'Zogbia, Lowton

[Ron Manager]

Guzan, Bacuna, Okore, Vlaar, Richardson, Sanchez, Westwood, Cleverley, Delph, Grealish, Benteke.
SUBS: Given, Weimann, Cole, Senderos, Cissokho, N'Zogbia, Lowton

Exactly the team I would have chosen  with the exception of Gil for Cole on the subs bench.

[tom jennings III]

No Gabby today then.

That's going to be quite a narrow midfield it seems. I wonder if he'll consider pushing Cleverley up to play as a number 10, as he played a little there for Wigan.

[silhillvilla]

Packed the midfield then?

[Pete3206]

Calamity Carlos returns then

[Toronto Villa]

Calamity Carlos returns then

He'll be great for 65 min. Just need to get him off when he tires.

[Matt Collins]

That's an odd line up isn't it? Can't imagine cleverley will play as part of a front three. Narrow four in midfield and grealish w bent eke?

Not the best set of results today so could really do w something here

[pauliewalnuts]

I wonder what is happening with Gil?
