Just for fun, if this game went to penalties, which 5 players are taking them? (Ignore potential line ups and substitutions and what not)

Was just thinking this watching the Arsenal shootout, do you let Watkins take one??

Luiz
Pau
SJM
Digne
Bailey

Tielemans would definitely take one.

[Demitri_C]

Im hoping the players will want to make up for that shitshow sunday

[AV84]

I was wondering about Watkins too. Honestly Luiz is the only nailed on one for me. It's fine to not have your striker be the designated penalty taker, but can you have a shootout without letting him take one?

Zaniolo
Rogers
Irogbunam
Duran
O'Reilly

Good point. Swap him for Bailey.

Just no! They're tense enough even when Villa aren't involved.

[Risso]

Villa, penalties and fun are three words that do not belong together.

[AV84]

What are you on about? Martinez loves a shootout! 

[Drummond]

Pens? Christ I can't see another 0-0.

But

They won 2-0 on Sunday
Hopefully they are knackered

They drew 2-2 with Fortuna Sittard.

You are right, I saw an old 2-0 against Utrecht score. After conceeding 2 hopefully they will be even more knackered.

[RamboandBruno]

One thing taking Ollie out as the main penalty taker, another altogether taking him out of the top 5, that would be a huge slap, although ill have my eyes shut if it comes to this and he has to take one.

In no particular order

Luiz
Watkins
McGinn
Torres
Digne

But this cannot happen, we need to beat these feckers in normal time. 2-0 (Watkins, McGinn)

[ChicagoLion]

We need this over in 90 minutes either way.

Good point. Swap him for Bailey.

I can't imagine Tielemans still being on the pitch at that point.
