Aston Villa v Millwall pre-match thread

[Legion]

"Tammy got a whack on the shoulder. It’s too early to diagnose. I don’t expect him to be fit for Monday, if I’m honest. Then we’re hoping it’s not too bad."

[CJ]

I've posted this on the Matchday Travel thread but thought I'd stick a reminder here as well - parking at King Edwards for this game (and Norwich, and all next season) is for permit holders only.

[GarTomas]

Are there any restrictions around access to the ground like for Blues/WBA?

[Smirker]

I think we'll win and the atmosphere will be electric.

Grealish again, The Kodge, McGinn.

3-1 Villa.

Isn't the Kodge injured?  Time for Keinan to loosen the shackles and torment Millwall for 90 minutes.

Millwall are a very physical, but technically poor side. They struggled for 60 minutes to create anything against Brentford with 11v10.

Mings gives us the aerial dominance and muscle at the back. As long as we move the ball with some pace, we'll unlock them.

Witton lane exit towards Perry Bar closed after the game.

Is he? Keinan will score instead then.

[Des Little]

Can see this one being a grind. 2-1.

[Deano's Mullet]

think this will be a game too far. 1-1

[Toronto Villa]

Millwall are in the relegation battle for a reason. Even Bolton beat them recently. Villa win

3-0 Grealish, Hourihane, Anwar

[Meanwood Villa]

Horrible club. Horrible team. Let's get that 10th.

[ktvillan]

We don't seem to beat them that often - bit like Wimbledon in the 80s and 90s, until we stuck a eight past them.  Maybe we're overdue giving these cavemen a damn good thrashing.  4-0 us.

[CT Villan]

If Kodjia plays I'm more confident of the win.

Also depends on having a decent ref who will stop Millwall kicking us off the pitch.

We'll win, 2-1.
