Hoping Tielemans and Torres are back.

[Risso]

No idea with this one. Hopefully we "see a reaction" and we should have enough to bury them, but honestly, who knows? Too many players in poor form. 1-1.

[Rigadon]

Need to put the game yesterday to bed.  I think we’ll win comfortably.

Hoping Tielemans and Torres are back.

Torres surely will be given he was on the bench last night. Tielemans hopefully on the bench at least. Likely fitness concerns with Digne and Cash, Cash seemed to be in trouble with his shoulder. Kompany seems to be insistent on playing Mowbrays West Brom style football back to the second division so don't think they will park the bus like Sheffield United. Maybe try 433/4231 with more width, Ramsey will have to drop out.

Even leaving yesterday aside, it feels like an age since we had a really comfortable demolishing of a team. I think we're due one. Just a stress free, 4 or 5 goal, game killed off after 35 minutes, kind of thing.

Probably the worst thing to face next would be a bus-parking lower league side.

Fortunately, Burnley are lower league, but they are certainly not bus-parkers. They will try to play a bit, which suits us.

Confidence restored after a 3-0 win.

Any sort of win would be fine .

[Brazilian Villain]

2-0 to us, and no "Canadians" from British Columbia on the post-match thread.

[SoccerHQ]

Was boys against men up there in August.

Same again, no excuses. 3-1 win.

[VillaTim]

Aaron Ramsey got a few minutes v Liverpool. Might feature .

[Ads]

They won't park the bus, we will fucking murder them.

[Axl Rose]

In the past, under previous managers, this would have been painful.

Not under Unai.

3-1 Villa
