It is.

Excellent. Thanks. Didn’t think it was on but was just told by a couple of family members that it was, so thought I’d check.

just need to chuck the family members out first :)

Just found something I didn't know .....

It IS possible to record the game on Sky Q even though it's on red button - you navigate to the Sky sports football HD channel, press record on the Sheff Utd v Derby gane BUT a menu comes up and you can choose the Villa game instead.

Thought I'd post that in case it helps anyone but apologies if it's obvious and I'm just a cretin !

I hope not , but there is a chance that Deano could stick with majority again and like Bruce found out they’ll be knackered without enough recovery time. If so they’ll run through our midfield with ease

If the match is on the Sky red button does it mean it will not be shown on AVTV (for those who are outside the Uk)? Will it be just audio or will it be streamed? Merry Christmas and UTV!! :-)

From a Swansea forum :

They must be bad at the back. They're hoping Taylor will be fit.😄

I'm hoping for us to show a positive reaction after Sunday's disappointment, but I fancy both rubbish defences will provide plenty festive generosity. This afternoon's encounter has 'Draw' dangling over it like the proverbial Sword o' Damocles IMO, so I won't be in the least bit surprised if it ends up with a few goals & a final score of 2-each.

The one thing we need to address urgently as a club is that teams will know no lead we might have is safe. It’s great that it works in our favour that no deficit we find ourselves in safe but teams tend not to go up when they concede twice a game.

We appeared to be doing ok for a bit when we went to Derby and Boro and got clean sheets. Injuries have just killed us. Dean needs to consider being tactically less expansive in his approach also with the players he has and brave enough to play younger players who have more energy than some of our older pros who look careless and knackered at times.

It’s not just injuries that have killed us it’s injuries to probably the two most important players

if you asked fans which two players would you least like to get injured at the same time i reckon those two would top the poll

that’s proper bad luck that is
(And also that we have a very average/rubbish squad in a midfield and defence)

True John. Of all the players Grealish and AT are in the top 3 with Abraham or McGinn the other. Despite the way the Albion game ended we were building some great momentum then we lose Jack. Losing AT right before Leeds has to be crushing for Dean’s preparations. And I’ve been mildly critical of him but inportant to point out that our manager is still learning the job and what he has without even having a transfer window. It will improve.

1 change, El Ghazi in for Kodjia.

Can see this being the sort of game where we really flag in last half hour as our CMs will be knackered from Sunday.
