Come on Villa, another home win, the outright record of home wins in a row, and beating the top two teams in the league to break the record would be absolutely incredible.  At the start of the season when these fixtures came up I thought 2 points from them would a great return, we're already past that and I genuinely think we can take six. Come on boys!  UTV!

Arsenal worry me more than Man City. They can go with both pace or passing teams out of position.

I think we will need to make subs earlier than usual today, no later than 60.

Wonder whats up with Cash? Konsa at RB worked well midweek, but is it tactical, or is he carrying a knock? Mentally devastated at murdering that Spurs guy?

Their team looks pretty good. To win this would be incredible, I'd take a draw but desperate to beat these idiots. Arteta is one of the least likeable managers in the league.

I see Unai doesn't believe in any rotation. We had a tough gig on Wednesday and this could be a match too far I fear. No changes for us and they have had an extra days rest
I don't remember it being a tough gig.

Arsenal only have a midfielder Rice who is effective in stopping our central players Havertz, who is in good goal scoring form , and Odegaard are light weight and their strength isn't containing or tackling. I expect us to over run them in that area.
The wide areas are an issue as that's arsenal strength and I still feel confident of the 3 points.
I suspected Cash wouldn't start and rather have Konsa in that role.
Thinking out midfielders can get through and a strong offensive showing.
We want 15 home wins!
I wonder if Hanks, Southgate or Prince of Wales are there tonight I reckon at least one of them!

Let's Go Villa Lets Go!

I think their midfield 3 is pretty attacking, basically playing 2 10's. Could be where we dominate or slaughtered but I don't fancy Havertz digging in.
