Got a gut feeling that Gabby (if fit) should start upfront (in place of Kozak)
Think it could be one of the rare games per season that he puts a right shift in and looks unplayable.
Huth to see red for bringing him down clear on goal......

I have just had a premonition and it wasn't good I am afraid. Mahrez is going to score for them in a 0-1 defeat by them. I'm off to the bookies to bet my entire life savings on it. I would recommend everybody else does the same. My visions are never wrong.

I have a gut feeling that after Gabby's recent 'back' issues his weight has ballooned to such a degree that he makes Grant Holt look like Rudolph Nureyev.

Got to believe and Leicester have to have a bad day somewhere along the line - 2-1 Villa

If I were Albrighton today I'd just blast one in the net for us and force them to sub me and stick two fingers up at all the Leicester fans before going on a lap of appreciation round Villa Park.

I heard Gabby has gone to the baggies.

Free buffet on or something?

At least now people complaining about the chairman not being at games will need to find another topic to complain about with as much vigour.

What a load of crap.

What is? The fact that I am pointing out that people won't be able to complain about the chairman not being at games? Is that not true?

People will still complain about the owner never showing his face. Lerner has not become any less of a weasel overnight.

To be fair if Garde doesn't play Bunn and Libor after Tuesday I'll consider that bottling it!

Whenever I've watched Leicester, they tend to catch teams on the break and it's normally about 3 or 4 players running as opposed to just one or two, it's very effective. It's going to be a tough game and I hope we stick with the same side. I know we need wins but a draw would be a half decent result against these.

Barring injury, I very much doubt they won't play. Unless we sign a new keeper I can see Bunn being our main keeper for the rest of the season. Guzan won't be playing for Villa in the foreseeable future.

If they try and catch us on the break they'll have a long wait...we don't attack enough for that to happen...:-)

Gabby? If Garde were to play him he'd be about as sharp as a pair of scissors in an infant school.
