Sunderland v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[saunders_heroes]

A win today and there's a bit of hope. Over to you, Villa...

What's the odds on pantilimon time wasting with 60 minutes left

[Rigadon]

Draw.  A pointless point, so to speak.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It will be one of those games where the team selection baffles everybody, so many key players out yet we put in the best performance of the season. 3-1 Villa.

                              Bunn

Richards     okore         lescott    sissoko

           Bacuna      Gana       veretout   Bennett

                      Gestede     Traore

I'd go with Guzan, Cissokho, Lescott, Okore, Richards, Veretout, Gana, Grealish, Traore, Sinclair and Gestede.

Huge respect to everyone going up their today.

Sunderland made it hard for Liverpool in the week so it's going to be tough. Let's hope the extra couple of days rest and our decent record up there swings it for us.

Can't cross for shit Cissokho is not allowed to feature until Monday.

[UK Redsox]

Can't cross for shit Cissokho is not allowed to feature until Monday.

Why not?

Can't find specific info for Portugal but its probably similar to this

The transfer window in France also opens on January 2 but Premier League clubs will have to wait until at least January 4 to sign players from Italy or Spain.

[Risso]

A win won't be enough to save us, but at least it helps Sunderland to come down with us.

[Legion]

Isn't it just a recall from a loan?
