3-1
Watkins X2 .
Douglas Luiz penalty

The last of the 4 matches in 10 days. And a real test. I'm confident Emery will have us set for the win!
Statement made!
Let's Go Villa! Let's Go !

I’m nervous about this, although I was on Wednesday night too.

I think we might be tired, and we might lose 3-0.

Also I think we could play like we did on Wednesday, with pomp and aplomb and get a win too!

It’s hard to remember sometimes this is Emery Villa, a new and exciting and well drilled unit, and not the old Gerrard Villa.

I will say we win, 2-1. Ollie and Pau for us, Rice for them.

I used to watch the 89/90 season review video a lot when I was a kid. Invariably I would stop watching at the Wimbledon game.

That seems out of context, probably should have quoted the conversations about 89/90 from the last page!

After that full dress rehearsal on Wednesday, I expect we've ironed out all the kinks in training and are fully prepared for today's Lord Mayor's Show.

Not looking forward to Brentford away now. :(

Of all the great results over the last year, not losing at Brentford is the one that really defies logic

Questions for starting 11:
Cash or Konsa?
Digne or Moreno?
Diaby or Tielemans?

My selection:
Konsa
Digne
Diaby

I'd go Cash, Digne, Tielemans myself. Reckon we'll see Moreno start on Thursday.

I agree, and I wonder if they have to manage Diego’s workload a bit.

Bailey should retain his place, and I'd also bring Cash in to put Konsa back at CH. Sorry Diego.

Soooo looking forward to this. 

I might come up for the Burnley match.  Thinking of becoming a member.  How much does being a member increase your chances of getting a home ticket?  Or is it still tricky?

Feel like Watkins tends to do well against the North London sides.

Gonna say 2-2, with him on the scoresheet.
