3-1 Villa win, City looked awful yesterday completely void of confidence.

0-2

Neither team can defend, so it could be 7-5 or 5-7

So....it'll be 0-1

We really need to get out of the ‘typical Villa’ mentality that assumes we’re certain to lose this game.

2-1 Villa. Duran at the double.

Last 10 mins yesterday, they looked like us.
Interesting to see how we both approach this

Could you imagine  two teams that couldnt defend a goal fest expected and it ends 0-0

It'll probably be a draw.  Two sides struggling to properly impose themselves on a league that is in transition, and for Villa, a few tired minds.  I'd take a draw actually.  But a loss would be harder to take (pre-game)

If that clown Rico Lewis is playing the Rodri role then we have a chance .
A full week without a game will help us too . Never bet on the early KO , think I'll keep my powder dry on this one , could go either way .

Thought BE was back for a sec. I know he's cantankerous but he's missed.
