Aston Villa v Preston: Pre-match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

We beat this lot at their place without too much fuss 3 months ago or so and without Grealish in the side.  Have they improved immeasurably?

They've certainly improved.

So have we. Much more so.

A Preston fan of our mutual acquaintance was keen to point out that their entire defence was missing for that game.

They were shite all over the park first half.

Oh right. 4-0 win to us so.

If Preston had won, they'd have gone a point above us that night.

O'Hare is playing for u23s this evening so he won't be playing tomorrow.

Hopefully Grealish will be back. It would be a massive lift.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Is there a chance he'll be back tomorrow night?

[cheltenhamlion]

I dont think Albert will be fit but there is a chance Grealish will play.

Sky Sports say:

Aston Villa's Albert Adomah, Jack Grealish and Ahmed Elmohamady are all doubts for the Sky Bet Championship home clash with Preston on Tuesday.

Adomah and Grealish missed Saturday's 2-0 loss at Fulham because of hamstring and calf problems respectively, while Elmohamady came off injured at half-time.

Andre Green remains sidelined by a hamstring issue of his own, while Jonathan Kodjia (ankle) and Jed Steer (shoulder) are also still unavailable. The fit-again Gabriel Agbonlahor could make his return to the matchday squad as third-placed Villa look to bounce back from a result at the weekend that halted a run of seven successive league wins.

[Toronto Villa]

Fucking hell, all bad news. And even when they tried to inject some positive information about a player possibly returning, it's bad news.

[ChicagoLion]

Left wing problem solved, The Gabbster is back.
I’ll get me coat.

[cheltenhamlion]

Home win by the odd goal. Probably the only goal.

[Smirker]

We'll bounce back.

A win and a clean sheet, not sure on # of goals scored.
