Aston Villa vs Leicester Pre-Match Thread

[Baldy]

OK no fanning about on Saturday. Just win 4-1 allowing them the dignity of having a goal at Villa Park. NFE.

Exactly, FTCMF!

Fuck The Cheddar Munching Foxes?

3-1 to the Villa

I'm going for a 2-0 Villa win.

[RamboandBruno]

We are capable of losing to anybody right now. 0-1 Vardy.

Apart from Brentford and Man City in the last few weeks.
3-0 (Watkins 2, Bailey).

Chance to get back on track against Leicester City.  I agree with the side selected by Dave.  Chance to bed in the Kamara and Onana partnership and move Tielemans further forward.  Got to be a win, nothing else will do.  I'd be happy with 1-0 at this point if it gives us the win and a clean sheet.

2-1

Is that just with a view to resting Rogers?

[Steve67]

Rogers is suspended for this game.

[PaulWinch again]

Ah thanks - that’s a blow but we should have enough.

[PaulWinch again]

But it’ll be interesting because we’ve become very reliant on him - which is a testament to him and his development (+ our scouting). If we could work out how to have more avenues of attack that’d be helpful.

[manic-road]

4-0 with a rare clean sheet.

[brontebilly]

I'm confident ahead of this one. Leicester are frankly useless at the back and the new manager bounce was shortlived. We have been creating plenty of chances and it might be the kind of game they starting going in. 4-1, Watkins hat trick.

Martinez
Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen
Onana, Kamara
Bailey, Ramsey
McGinn, Watkins

[Drummond]

                Martinez
Cash Konsa Mings Digne
           Kamara  Barkley
Bailey                        Ramsey
               Tielemans
                      Watkins

I'd rest McGinn, Bring Onana on later as a sub.

[eamonn]

Surely JJ comes in for this one from the start.

[Demitri_C]

Wonder if buendia  might get a shock start

[pauliewalnuts]

I thought Leicester were extremely hard done by in losing to Man City, they at the very least deserved a point.

If - and it's a big if - they perform like that again, we're in trouble here.
