We won't make a couple of changes unless someone gets sick or injured between now and kick-off time.

[Legion]

0-2.

The title of this thread makes it look like a three way tie between Aston, Villa and West ham.

Sorted.

[wittonwarrior]

0-2.

you might be well right there  - A game we expect to win, never works that way

[Allan C]

I’m going for a Villa win  thinking 2-0  don’t care who scores

[Sexual Ealing]

Dean never makes changes. He knows far better than me what he's doing, but I wish he'd make changes.

[manic-road]

3-2 win

Watched a bit of West Ham yesterday - 10 defenders in the box every time Liverpool attacked and then the long ball to that non league forward who people seem to rave about (he is rubbish in my opinion)

Only look dangerous at corners and free kicks - reminded me of Wimbledon in the 80s

We will win 3-0

Haven’t they just signed Benrahma and 1 or 2 others? Hopefully it’s a bit too soon for them to slot in. We’ll see. I reckon West Ham have surprised a lot of people with their form this season, not least their own fans who were calling For ‘BGS’ heads at the start of the season on their podcasts, which was funny to watch. Haven’t watched it since the season started, but I bet they’ve changed their tune somewhat since then - the fickle  claret and blue bastards ; )

They're a bunch of keep it tight set piece merchants, like his Everton team were. They'll blow hot and cold, and they'll finish mid-table at best, hopefully we're catching them just as the slump begins, 3-1 to us.

Yeah, their midfield serves no constructive purpose at all, they are all break-it-up merchants. They will just try to keep it tight at the back and go long for Antonio or a bit of magic from Benrahma. They'll be happy to leave with a point.

[ROBBO]

We have to win this so I can stick it to my WH golf mate and get my money back.

[LukeJames]

I've seen them about 4 times this season and they have been awful on each occasion but they are obviously doing something right in the other games that I haven't seen as they are so high in the table.

Does anyone know if BT do a 'per match/per day' subscription like you can get with sky sports, or do you have to take our a full subscription?  Quite keen to watch this one!

[ChicagoLion]

They managed to beat us last time out.
We have lost too many games we should have won so I am not confident.
