Aston Villa vs Arsenal Pre-Match Thread

I don't fancy this at all. 6.30am kick-off for me here.

Just stay up all night on mezcal and it won't feel so bad.

It's on the list of options.

8.30 pm in QLD. Perfect. I might head into town to watch it if it’s on TV. Usually just watch on my phone at some ungodly hour in the morning.

You sure about that? I think it’s an 11.30 kick off Melbourne time and you’re an hour behind.

1-2 Sammy Nelson and Alan Sunderland for them.

As long as Ted Drake doesn’t come on we’ll be fine 👍

My Dad's mate was at that game and said we played well, but pretty much every time Drake touched the ball, he scored

Sorry Robbo.
It's a 8.30 pm kick off here in Perth, Western Australia.
Just about to go out with the wife for our anniversary dinner.
Planning on getting home in time for Ko.

2-1 us.  Don't care who scores!

Says 9.30 on Optus, but that’s usually EST so I thought 8.30 here. Looks like 9.30 ko. Off to the pub now

It’s strange reading the comments on here. If we had played Liverpool on Wednesday night and Arsenal hadn’t had a match, everyone would be saying we’ll be knackered and they’ll be fresh. We would also be saying it’s not fair guv as the turnaround time is so short!!
Having said all that, I’d still settle for a point but, prove me wrong Villa and get all 3!!

We'll be knackered from Cheltenham I bet.

Really hope Gerrard has some plan for protecting the flanks today as Young potentially in 1v1s against Saka dosen't exactly fill me with confidence. Cash also had his poorest game of the season away to them when Tierney and Smith Rowe were overruning him on the right.

If we could protect those areas and do a good job nulifying Odegaard I think we'll get a draw today.

1-1.
