Aston Villa vs Everton Pre-Match

[Bad English]

Saturday 14th September, 5.30 pm, Villa Park.
3-1 FTF!

[Accent Guy]

A routine 2-0 victory. I believe we do those under Emery.

Onana and Konsa

[Brazilian Villain]

Think it will be trickier than expected as they desperately need a result. 2-0 home win (Bailey, and Duran with one late in the game).

Did you know that.....

[Accent Guy]

Isn't Bailey injured?

[Mr Diggles]

First home win of the season vs Everton, please - as usual!

[Brazilian Villain]

Isn't Bailey injured?

He's a doubt, I'm an optimist.

Hope he plays as he has a decent scoring record against them. If he's out, Digne will get 'another one' against his old team.

[steamer]

The league cup defeat at home last year was terrible.
They will have something to prove after the Bournemouth game
We normally beat  them.
What could go wrong ?

[Accent Guy]

Isn't Bailey injured?

He's a doubt, I'm an optimist.

Hope he plays as he has a decent scoring record against them. If he's out, Digne will get 'another one' against his old team.

"Doubt" for a Villa player means 3 months out. "Doubt" for an opponent means he is guaranteed to start and score at least one.

You must know the rules by now surely!?

Bit nervous about this one, mainly due to the fact we are overwhelming favourites .
Coleman out, Young suspended , Irogbunam returns .

------- Martinez --------
Ned Konsa Torres Digne
--- Onana - Tielemans-
Ramsey -- McGinn - Bidace
------- Watkins -------

Didn't know Young was suspended, they might be a bit short at the back, then. Could really do with Bailey back as he often seems to terrorise these, but he's a Villa player so we will be lucky to see him before Christmas.

I'd be tempted to rest one of our midfield trio and start Barkley. If you're not playing an attacking midfielder at home to the team bottom of the league then when do you play him?

[VillaTim]

apologies Young's suspension is complete so he might play

[Brend'Watkins]

If we have any pretensions of repeating the success of last season this has to be a win.
It will be a fairly comfortable routine win.

[eamonn]

BE's record in pre-match threads started this season is 66.67% - higher than SUE's win record as manager. Can't say fairer than that, I guess.
