Going for the biblical reign of King David, overcoming all, including Goliath!
He started as he meant to finish.

Just saw that home wins in the Bundesliga has dropped to 20%since it has started behind closed doors.

That's ok, we can just win our remaining four away games!

[DrGonzo]

I can't believe this is actually going to happen...

Yes that's an issue. It must be difficult to take to the field on your home ground and   have no supporters ton roar you on.

Chortle.
Are they pumping in crowd noise for the match do we know?

[Legion]

No, it would put the players off as it would be unfamiliar.

Exclusive access to Villa Park just featured on the BBC 6 0'clock news plus a short interview with Purslow. The ground looks very smart in the circumstances with the lower tiers decked out pitch side with banners.

They must have had loads of flags as the Wilton Lane is full of them. You could see plenty ready to be draped over as well, all of which the TV cameras won’t see, so the Holte and Trinity must have plenty too.

Didn’t see mine but I know to there somewhere!

I missed this (will see if it's in 10pm report as watching Salisbury poisonings) but I assume the big flag we have pre kick off will be put on the Holte?

Talk Fleck is out for them, big boost as he's their McGinn type who can break from central midfield and score as we saw in December.

Also  talk we're going with a kamikaze Keegan style 5-2-3 formation with Grealish and Hourihane the central two. Don't quite believe that one.

Win please Villa, momentum will be everything in a 10 game mini tournament.

I'm hoping to win tomorrow just to prove the point that with all games equal we'd not be in the relegation zone.

Sadness with all of the illnesses and deaths but selfishly I'm glad I have something I can look forward to in the short term each week. It hopefully will provide a bit of a release from things and hope others find that too.
