Aston Villa v Preston Pre-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

October 2nd, 19.45 kick off.
Villa Park

2-1 and Bruce gives it the big one post-match as we see off the side bottom of the league.

[Allan C]

3-0 to Villa 

[Axl Rose]

We scrape a 1-1, but Preston deserved more, is how I see it going. Rarely am I correct.

Come on Villa. Fucking win.

[TelfordVilla]

Isn't it October 2nd ? Anyway 2-0 Villa (sack him anyway)

3-0 Villa and Bruce's last visit to the home dug out.

Nyland
Taylor
Chester
Tuanzebe
Hutton

Hourihane
McGinn

Bolasie
Grealish
El Ghazi

Kodjia

Is what I would go with. But we'll have goodness knows what and at least 4 out of position.

[Risso]

It’ll probably be 1 or 2 nil to us, and the whole sorry Bruce saga will drag on a bit longer.

[JUAN PABLO]

I think we will be there or thereabouts , so 1 1 .

[sickbeggar]

He needs to win if the owners are actually taking any notice of what's happening. Preston are pish so i can't see us fecking it up. 3-1

[dicedlam]

A Villa win with the smug bastard giving it large in the post-match interview.

[darren woolley]

I reckon 2-1 Villa win.

[aj2k77]

Draw. Can't see us winning this at all. There's a distinct smell of final days around the place to me. Fat ****** to be out on his ear in the next two weeks.

[levico]

Wouldn’t be surprised by any result.

Maybe time for us to help another struggling team?

I’ll go for 1-1.

He needs to get Grealish back into a more central position where he can influence the game more.  Not sure if Abraham will be fit, so Kodjia will play centrally if he doesn't make it.  Presuming all are fit, I would go with:

                                      Nyland

Elmohamady          Chester          Tuanzebe         Hutton

                                      Jedinak

                          Grealish             McGinn

El Ghazi                         Abraham                      Bolasie


Subs - Moreira, Bree, Taylor, Bjarnason, Hourihane, Adomah, Kodjia

Thank you for making me smile this morning!
