The healthier, fresher, more motivated side to win. Last time we played a side just off an FA Cup win we burst that bubble. I'm going for a bold 3-1 to our boys. Hogan, Jack and Albert for us.

Close, but...

Clarke for them. Hogan, Jack and Terry for us.

2-0 no sweat and time to teach them a lesson for for being impolite  at Villa Park last month.

Any sort of win will do!  May be lucky to get away with a point if we show them the respect we gave derby and Leeds. Didn't go Brentford so can't add them

2-1 to us. It will involve a two goal lead, conceding in the last ten and Terry marshalling the Alamo at the back when they do get one. Hogan will score, as will Adomah. Tuanzebe will start in place of Thor and get sent off to get them their goal. I didn't dream about the game at all last night. At least Mourinho spent 5 minutes in his press conference slagging our ref the next day!

Score first and I think we'll do them this time. If they have to go chasing then our extra rest should see us through.

Going to this, so we will put in a deradfully boring performance and lose 0-3!! ;D

Difficult game. Would take a draw, but can see us nicking it by the single goal

6 players at this time pick themselves.
JT and Chessie.
Then Snoddy, Jack, Alberto and Hulk
Hourihane and Hutton pushing for that too so that's 8 places.
I would think Whelan is in for this. BB to be benched
Right back will be elmo and hutts stays at left back.


Therefore
Johnstone
Elmo
Chessie
JT
Hutts
Snoddy
Whelan of the Glenn
Hourihane
AA.
Jack
Hulk

A.T. To be part of solid bench
Though that bench needs another more experienced attacking player.

GK Bunn
Tuanzebe
Bjarnason
Taylor
Green
Lansbury
Davis

(onomah, agbonlahor, O'Hare Jedinak !! 4 could come instead on bench of others can't seem to fit them all on)

1-3 villa. A repeat of 4 goals in match not without drama but a solid defensive side with JT rather than Jedinak in centre defence and a more energised attack gives confidence to win this and push on.

Yes, let's be honest - We were in cruise control at 2-0 until Mile had a horror show. If JT had played we would not have been 2-2 at half time.
