I think that team would be on the wrong end of a severe humping.

Assume Manè will be playing, he's always excellent against us.

They look pretty poor at the back, no decent CBs and their full backs are really wingers.

Mane is having a rotten season....probably get a hat trick now

If as expected Jack is out, let's try Watkins on left and Davis up top. Something a bit different. TAA leaves lots of space to exploit on that flank

When was the last time we did the double over them as a matter of interest?

1992/93. If you're looking for a lucky omen that was also the last season, prior to this one, that we did the double over Arsenal.

Now can a real statto find out if we have ever done the double over a team and had a player score a hat-trick in both games, please?

The commentary tomorrow will all be about Liverpool trying to get into the top 4

Of course it will, the commentary of Liverpool games is always the same, worse than even Man U or City games, arse licking constantly

Agreed. As much as I despise their fans, the way the media suck up to them is the most sickening aspect of the club.
Those 'glorious European nights at Anfield'! Pass me the puke bucket please!

As much as I still have my reservations about Dean Smith pushing us on, I'd give the guy a knighthood if we manage to finish above that lot!

Surely Pongo managed it?

Grealish defo out for another ‘few weeks’ (but it’s not a long term injury!!) His euro place must be looking shaky.
I agree with Brontebilly, we have to try something different for this, just swapping Trez for El Ghazi just won’t cut it and will potentially hand Liverpool their first home win since mid December on a plate.

Davis up top, Ollie out wide with Bert on the other side. Or if Smith wanted to be really radical, could bring in Hause as a third CB, play the full backs as wing backs, have a three of McGinn, Luiz and Ramsey and Ollie and Davis up top.

I actually believe none of this will happen and it’ll be a straight swap of one, with Trez coming in.

Guess there must be some doubt about this going ahead? Football was suspended when Diana died in '97.

FA have announced that there will be a minute's casual racism before each match this weekend, in honour of Prince Phillip.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

They only thing I know is Dean and the players need to step up. We know what this squad is capable of and over the last few months we've not come even close to recapturing the form of 2020.

[Skerra]

My thoughts are that JG is looking more towards being fit for the Euros than for Villa. He may well be disappointed as Southgate doesn’t need too many excuses to leave him out of the squad. However, without him, if we go 4-4-2, I still think we could win 3 or 4 of our remaining matches.

9 points from Liverpool and Everton would make me extremely happy .......... however I fear the worst tomorrow for no other reason that Liverpool will still be smarting after the drubbing earlier this season ......a draw would be a good result
