Aston Villa vs Luton Town pre-match thread

[VillaTim]

Which radio station is the commentary on?

BRMB as always

[Dante Lavelli]

I don’t think I’ve ever been so confident which means certain defeat.

[Jon Crofts]

Yet again another game people can’t watch despite paying for a TV licence, having a Sky subscription an Amazon account and a TNT Sport subscription and you wonder why people turn to illegal streams.

Come to the conclusion (or rather my wife has 🤣) that I can no longer afford the extortionate prices for food and drink at the ground for me and the kids.  Having never really taken food in before can anyone advise on what you can and can’t take? I was thinking sandwiches and drink?

I've taken full packed lunch, sarnies, snacks etc. Drinks fine but in your bottles not a coke style disposable.

Thanks!

Battered sausage , chips, scratchings, 4 pack of Red Stripe . All for less than £10. You don't need to break the bank to live like a king in aston . (Opposite Manor Park School)

Now if White Lightening was in that offer!

Got a feeling this could be a game along the lines of Zrinjski, and their keeper will turn into the World number one

Martinez

Konsa
Torres

Yeah I think this will be tough - they’re pretty resilient.

Early goal would help as it wouldn't let them sit in.  Am I right in thinking that this was our last top flight game at home against them?  Gary Penrice's debut and starting as he meant to go on by missing a sitter.  First time I'd seen a corner like that as well where it chipped out to the edge of the box and a great volley.

[Lastfootstamper]

I won't be there today, I'll be in London. Last time I was in London when we were at home we scored 6. Prior to that my previous absence was the 3-0 Newcastle. There's your omen right there, folks.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Did like that their manager Rob Edwards played 10 Premier League games.

8 for us and 1 against us (for Blackpoool, 3-2).

So only one of his top flight games wasn't a Villa match.

No Diaby ? I can't see him not starting

[Chris Smith]

Complacency is probably the only thing that will stop us winning today and I really don’t think Unai will allow that.

[VillaTim]

It does have a bit of a Notts County at home 1981 feel to it

Yeah, think it will probably be Zaniolo for Tielemans and Diaby for Bailey in that line up.  Might start with the formation where Bailey starts on the right though, with Kamara, Luiz and McGinn in the middle, and Diaby and Watkins up top.
