Youri Tielemans

[OCD]

Still a very strong side

What about the bench though? That's been a huge part of us winning games over the past few months.

[London Villan]

Malen, Bailey or Asensio as subs aren't bad options...

Olsen
Garcia
Disasi
Mings
Digne
Barkley
Malen
Asensio
Bailey

Still stronger than any bench we've ever put out prior to this season.

[Drummond]

           Martinez
Konsa Disasi Torres Maatsen
        Kamara   Onana
Bailey      Rogers      McGinn
             Watkins

Ramsey, Asensio, Barkley and Digne as subs when we're 3-1 up on 65 mins

Manager Unai Emery was questioned about the midfielder's condition at his pre-match press conference at Bodymoor Heath on Friday.

"He's injured and he's not available for tomorrow," Emery said.

"We will test him again next week. It's a small injury and we will test him again next week. He's not available for tomorrow."

the famous Aston Villa "small" injury.

RIP Youri.

Time for Mr Onana to show why we paid £50mil for

                       Martinez
Cash        Konsa      Torres      Maatsen

           Kamara          Onana

McGinn           Rogers              Ramsay

                     Watkins

Still a very strong side

Id go Mings over Torres too but looks like that ship has sailed.

Agreed on Onana, time to step up and deliver from the start. That pitch always seems to play very tight and that's a powerful team.

See you in 2026 then.

May as well play Pau and Maatsen now every game as I suspect Mings and Digne will go

Shame if so for both as Digne has been one of the players of the season IMO, whilst Tyrone hasn’t let us down at all, especially when you think of the injury he has come back from, hope I’m proved wrong and both are here next season.

Also wouldn’t play Asensio or Disasi as I don’t think we will sign them either, as long as we have other who are fit and ready to play that is.

[PaulWinch again]

I think we should play the best team we can, whatever that is, for the remaining games. Whether a player is with us next year isn’t really important right now.

I agree in principle, with the proviso that a player who thinks he is departing might not fancy sustaining an injury in a fabled 50/50 challenge.

[VillaTim]

I've lost a bit of confidence in Emerys team selections after the last few weeks . Let's hope it works tomorrow as this game is a must win .

[adrenachrome]

RIP Youri.

His like will not be there again, as we used to paraphrase the Bard when I was young.

[AV84]

Gary Neville has him in his team of the season.
