.. Lopetegui knows Emery well and had him pegged..

Oh, i didn't know that!

I mean, there's knowing someone well and then there's that...

[Axl Rose]

2-1 Villa

Prince William is firmly behind Unai.

PL injury news has 6/5/23 as potential return date for Cash,Bailey and Coutinho.
So good news if so.

Why is it that every team we play, according to us, have got more reason to win than we have? Either they're in good form, or due a win, or 'hate' us for some unspecified reason, or their star goalscorer is in good/bad form, or the planets are aligning, or something equally trivial.

Yep.

Midweek game for us - "our players are tired"
Midweek game for opponents "they had an extra match to practice"

here's what I know. If I'm a dog head mind the gap fan, having watched my practically on the beach team get fucking pumped 6-0 and could have been 10, not at Man City, not Liverpool, not Arsenal, not Real Madrid, but at Brighton (albeit this season a very good Brighton) then I would be absolutely shitting it that Aston Villa, their 10 game unbeaten streak just broken, furiously going for one of the last European spots really needing to win most games remaining are next up.

Their home form is actually really good. Beaten Chelsea (o.k standard nowadays), Brentford and Palace all to nil in last month.

They'll turn up for this one for sure compared to their surrender at Brighton so it will be tight with one goal deciding things.

Huge respect between the two managers. I fancy Ollie to get back to scoring ways and us to edge it 1-2.

Correct, plus I never fancy playing a team after they've just had a drubbing as there's usually a reaction (unless they're Leeds in April).

This is how I usually think. I actually even think it quite often for the team who did the drubbing as well, particularly in big games. As soon as Liverpool beat Man Utd 7-0 I bet on them to lose to Bournemouth. Need something for the comedown.

I don't fancy this one.

On form we should win, but Wolves are quite unpredictable, have two or three very good players, and seem to care disproportionately about us.

I'm predicting a loss, but mainly out of natural pessimism.

Also lost to Bournemouth and Leeds there recently too.

Wolves have good home form and poor away, this will be a tough game 1-1

[ChicagoLion]

They don’t score many. Is there any chance that we will have any of the wounded available?

[LeeB]

We've put in some shitshows at this place since they went Portuguese, make a fast start and the crowd will have little patience after their last horror show

[PaulTheVillan]

I think they'll have a bounce back from last week.

We look out of steam

1-1

[Drummond]

A win.
