This is why we need another striker. There is no like for like back up for Watkins.

Not convinced Emery fully trusts Duran yet so expecting either Bailey with Diaby through the middle or Zaniolo in for this one.

Important to get three points here to set us up for the big home double header coming up

That's my thought too, just need to get the three points. A win would ease some of the pressure ahead of the two home games, meaning 2 defeats or a draw or two wouldn't be a disaster in terms of top 4/5.
psychologically it would . 2 draws would be just acceptable but ideally 4 points (or more)

I'd be pretty happy with a win and a loss. We don't do draws, remember.

I fancy us against City more than Arsenal but one game at time. Let's get tomorrow out the way first.

There's no way the record signing doesn't start , just a case what position he plays

Three points at Bournemouth then 6 points at home for me. FTF!

It's tough to find another international striker with such a gormless face.

Frankie Boyle dropped a 'funny but a bit off maybe, in case there's a medical reason he speaks like that' joke about Kane before the Qatar world cup

"Harry Kane is already doing his best to promote gay rights ahead of Qatar by speaking like he's got three cocks in his mouth". Or something like that.

Going to be tough, especially if we don’t have Ollie. It’d be nice if we could get a couple of early goals and get control of it.

This Bournemouth fan video is entirely about (and largely complimentary to) Villa for the first 20 minutes, for any 'getting credit' fans.

Agreed, could set the tone for December. 2-1 to us will do.
