Please not I really don't know what to do between 6 and 8pm this evening. Any suggestions?

Hope for Queen Liz to cark it during that time and wait for the resultant explosion in Yardley.

Hoping for a win ahead of a tough couple of games but think it will be a draw which would be a decent result.

IF Coutinho is fit he will play, with a world cup this November, Gerrard is not going to ruin his friends chance of being selected for the Brazil squad, by not playing him for the Villa

Tough game 1-1

Exactly the type of game Coutinho goes missing.

Do Palace usually play 3 at the back or was it just against Liverpool?

If so then I'd guess that both Ings & Watkins will start again.

I'd quite like to see Bailey with Watkins at some point, pace and Bailey can finish

One of the best performances last season under Gerrard when we went and won comfortably outplaying them.
I think would be something similar though with a higher threshold for physical challenges can balance game out.
Still think we will beat them we're been very good away from home generally with Gerrard as he sets it up just right.

Will our mate Kevin Friend be there to disallow a goal for us again?

start of 4 tough games - be good to get something out of it and set us up for the next 3.

Need to show in these 4 games how we have progressed otherwise well be firmly planted at the Man Utd End of the table

Always a tricky fixture. Probably 2-0.

Never have a good feeling when we play there.
