Villa win. We're flying, they're cruising. Benteke doesn't have too many off days at the minute so after last week I think he'll bang in a couple.
TC for 4 in 4 is probably a good bet too.

Who was our last midfielder to score in 4 straight games? I genuinely don't know.

I wouldn't be devestated if we came unstuck here.

Good runs invariably come to an end, and I'm not sure I'd want to go into the FA Cup Final on the back of four straight victories.

I'd feel much happier to start a new two match winning run after the Southampton match.

Weirdly, I sort of feel that too. However, maybe we could draw the next two matches - 'five unbeaten' sounds more realistic than 'five wins in a row'.
Exactly my feeling for a few weeks now...all good runs come to an end, so do we really want to be going into the Cup Final and to be due a loss?

Southampton are due some kind of result, and we've won a couple on the bounce, so a draw wouldn't be a bad result...saying that, I'd like us to shut the Bitters fans up with their "Pride of the Midlands" bullshit, finish above them and win the FA Cup having given them a 25 game headstart in the league.

If I was gonna have a guess I'd say Platt.

Thanks to some awful holiday planning, this is my last game of the season. I'm expecting liquid football as a South coast send-off.
