[TonyD]

We play two up front and we win this.
Play Wes on his own up front and we won’t win.

[Bad English]

3-1. Wesley (2) and Grealish. Hause (og) for them.

Fuck the fuckers!

[BoVillan esq]

This is massive isn't it?

[OzVilla]

Could be a season defining game. Head says 2-2,  heart says 3-1.

[Des Little]

3-0 home win. Merry Christmas to all

[Clampy]

I'm not sure whether it's because we scored a few the other night but i fancy us for another good win today. I'd leave McGinn out if he's not properly fit and I'd start Kodjia although I think Smith will go with Wesley again. 4-1 to us.

Come on Villa boys, 3 points please! Let's make this the 1st win in a winning sequence of 3 games over Christmas. Their fans claim they lack physicality and leadership on the pitch and would take a draw. We need to dominate them and win! Tbf we have only lost 1 match to a team in the bottom half of the PL (Bournemouth, when we gifted them 2 goals), so our form against similar placed teams up to 10th has been good, averaging 2 points per game with 4 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss and 2 yet to play (Soton and Watford). Let's make this count and support the lads! UTV!

This is massive isn't it?

Aye. It's as massive as a really massive thing. Let's hope our lot can stick in a massive performance then!

Likely team gents?

Heaton, Guilbert, Engels, Hause, Targett, Luiz Nakamba, Hourihane, McGinn, Grealish, Kodjia

[ChicagoLion]

Likely team gents?

Heaton, Guilbert, Engels, Hause, Targett, Luiz Nakamba, Hourihane, McGinn, Grealish, Kodjia

i would but I bet Smith sticks with Wes and SJM in midfield.

[Axl Rose]

Isn't Mcginn having a rest today?
