Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Holy shit a Sanson and even Traore sighting. Although no SJM as the rumours suggested is a big blow.

[andyh]

SJM the main casualty then.

Meatball with Covid? Full strength apart from that. Then again, so are Chelsea...

[Toronto Villa]

Big day for Sanson. High hopes for him in this

Although I think he went off injured last time against Chelsea?

[Villa Lew]

Sanson starting I'm in shock!

[Legion]

Watkins out wide or 2 up front?

[Monty]

Disappointing to be sans Meatball, but it's still a good looking team on paper. Still, third of the top 3 to have played under the new regime, let's hope third time lucky for a result.

[PaulTheVillan]

Was expecting a much worse first team line up.

Looking forward to watching Sanson.

Which means he’ll go off injured in the first half hour.

[TonyD]

Let’s smash these.

Really surprised we've started Ings (guess Leeds match postponed played a part). Would've rather have Ollie sticking as CF and El Ghazi on left.

Otherwise not so bad.

Got a feeling Lukaku will come on and decide this like he did in September, we never can handle him that well.

They've also got a much stronger CM unit out than in recent weeks.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Trez on the bench. Is today his first squad since the injury?

[Ger Regan]

Think he was on the bench at norwich?

[yammers]

He was Anfield wasn’t he?
