Arsenal at Villa Park at Christmas to go top or thereabouts. 1989, 1998...the holy trinity.
A game too far, I fear. We'll be fucked after last night and I think their extra day's rest will make the difference.

If there is ONE game Unai wants to win, surely this is the one ?
Who knows what will happen here, it's a completely different game to last night but we've just seen that we can subdue anyone at home and that Arsenal can be got at away from home.Tiredness may well have an impact so we might see a couple of changes to freshen things up, not least I'd expect Konsa back in the middle and Cash in because the Arsenal attack is much suited to having that extra bit of pace and mobility in there, there isn't anyone where we'll need to physicality of Carlos.The midfield is key for this one, if we can get some control in there we've got every chance of getting a record breaking win.

I think we will start the same team (hard to find a reason to change anything - nobody dederve to be dropped) but substitutions coming earlier in the game due to tiered legs - like Diaby and JJ on for Youri and Leon after 60 th minutes.
