2-2

Under Unai haven't lost a Premier League away match against London opposition. West Ham, Brentford, Chelsea and Spurs.

Prior to that it had been five consecutive defeats culminating in Gerrards 3-0 Fulham debacle.

And Douglas Luiz red card was rescinded.
The players knew the bigger picture putting in that performance that night.
And so did the fans singing sweetly: Steven Gerrard get out of our club!
It was a complete debacle but don't we just love how it's all turned out since! 

[Bad English]

We have four games in ten days, starting with this one. Anything could happen. FTF!

I walked out after Mings steered one home (for them) and Luiz got an early bath. By the time I was back at the hotel carpethead was gone.

No this is not the first one! Come on now

Six matches ahead to approach with excitement but also the usual apprehension that we (and not the Manager) still struggle to shake off.

I prefer to relish what we have in front of us, this is where we crave to be, and better, so let's "have it", as they say.

First up a depleted Spurs side should pose less of a challenge than first thought but I'm wary of our away form, something the Manager has identified and suspect the performance won't be all that. But the result will.

0-1

To help make up mind if we win this .
Spurs centr back pairing : Davies and Dier.
And they play a high line.
Add Emery tactical plan.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but with both teams liking high lines, will this be the first match where one defence is caught offside by the other one?

And two of them might have been taking the kick off at the start and after the NM goal. Ollie will be glad to get back to Villa!!

[VillaTim]

Diaby needs a big game , Watkins needs to be more clinical.
A clean sheet would be nice

He had 2 big scoring opportunities or XG's or whatever they call them nowadays and managed to flunk them both
