On paper prefer a game against Shef United over Chelsea to start , then watched this


They absolutely hammered us , clear the whole game we never once got to grip with the over laps from the wing backs

On BBC they have a report about the German league and what's changed since its returned , the basics are home advantage eroded , ball in play longer and easier for teams to manage them selves on pitch as can hear each other.

Well hopefully we’ve used the time off to think about our game plan and the level of intensity we bring to games.

Yep, and it’s big for them too. They win and they’re in the CL places. If the league gets stopped, they’re in.

14:00?

Too early for a pre-match thread?!
May give us a slight advantage in our second game as our players will be more up to speed and familiar with the process?  Could well cause fatigue a little later on though.

Yes, but we are well into the summer by the 17th June and could be physically exhausted with the second game being only a couple of days later. We were never one of the fittest sides in the league prior to the lockdown, so I am not filled with confidence that our fitness levels have improved over the last 12 weeks or so. The first game with be like a pre-season game so we can only hope it will also have the same effect on Sheffield Utd.

Many millions will be watching this on TV around the world.

A minutes silence for the hundreds of thousands who have died already would seem the least to expect.

The evening kick offs are 6 and 8PM, so one of them. Weekend games kick off at 12, 2, 4, 6 and 8.

It’s stupid that football is coming back now, but since it is I really really hope we absolutely sprint out of the blocks. We need be press, battle, and fight for absolutely everything and hopefully take advantage of teams who aren’t that motivated.

The Villa way will be to lose this then the league gets binned the next morning.

Are fixtures from 20th June going in the order they should have been played I.e. will we have Chelsea at home?

Erm, according to something I've seen the games will not be free to air but broadcast via Sky and BT. Pubs are closed, grounds are closed, you can't (or should I say not supposed to) gather in houses so if you want to watch the game you only really have one option...
