Aston Villa vs Arsenal Pre-Match Thread

[nigel]

1-2 Sammy Nelson and Alan Sunderland for them.

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

[darren woolley]

1-1 Draw for me.

Or Tony Woodcock

[Axl Rose]

3-1 to them

Konsa and Buendia for Chambers and one of Ings/Watkins I'd say is how Gerrard will go. Their RB last night (Cedric), who I presume is a backup, looked hopeless v Liverpool. If he starts again we need to target him. Saka v Young could be a big mismatch alright. Switch McGinn from the right of Luiz to the left of him I think.

1-0 Saunders pen after  David O'Leary fouls Yorke in the box. A 1-0 massacre.

Late Michael Thomas goal to clinch the victory for Arsenal long after the majority of their fans have left the stadium.

They'll be knackered from the Hi-NRG game against Liverpool last night. We'll don the Mr Motivator lycra and put them to the sword.

1-0 Coutinho free-kick in front of the Holte, oh yes.

You're right of course, except it'll be a 20+ yard curler from open play à la Merson against Coventry.

Villa 5 Tarquins 0. Watkins 6, 72, Coutinho 37, Chambers 83, Martinez (pen) 89.

Loved this prediction. Particularly a Martinez penalty.

Not a chance. Barry will take it.

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.

[Deano's Mullet]

Just reading Odegaard might be out for them.

Re Konsa and Buendia, I think you might be right. I'd like to see Sanson get a start though and I can't see him changing too many players.

Re Cedric, Bailey or Traore should definitely get some minutes against him.

[Dr Butler]

any type of win please Villa.

This will be tough Arsenal look pretty good at the moment, even in defeat against Liverpool.
