Aston Villa vs Sheffield United Pre-Match

[AV84]

I think Digne starting with Moreno there if/when things need changing up is the best option at the moment. Moreno had a long lay off and we're not in a situation where we need to overdo it with how much he plays at the moment.

Just think he's better getting in around the back of a packed defence than Digne. Worked against Brentford at the end. Extra yard of pace helps too. Game at Brentford with all the extra minutes might have taken a lot out of him, mind.

I'd play Digne at Old Trafford for sure.

Yeah, fair point. I'm glad we've got the two great options there now, whichever way we use them.

If we're more than 1-0 up with half an hour left get big Tim Ig on the pitch, he needs to be playing now.

Why the assumption that SheffU are going to park the bus?

They're at the point where they need wins

That’s their best chance - keep it tight and hope to pinch it near the end.

Nah, they'll bank on their home form and six-pointers away from home. Still more than half the season to go.

[Meanwood Villa]

Told a few folks about us going top if we win. They all ask who we're playing and say "well you're bound to win that." Makes me nervous!

[VillaTim]

The closer this game gets , the more nervous I'm getting . It looks a stone wall banker home win which is making me very uneasy .

[pauliewalnuts]

No way are we going to go into a match against a team in red and white stripes who we unexpectedly fail to beat, thereby signalling what turns out to be the end of our dreams.

No way is that ever happening.

Expect a home win, that's how much confidence I have in Emery, anything else and I be having words

Are you from the west country?

Villa will score three. Not sure if Sheffield will score one or none.

Will sleep on it.

I'm getting stupidly excited about this and it's only Tuesday.
