It would be madness to be paying two players £600k a week and not play them every game. They'll both start on Sunday.

Zero chance of that, IMO. They'll be eased in.

It's the perfect game to ease them in. Watkins out, Rogers knackered, Bailey out of form.

Our front line on Sunday will be Rashford, Malen, Ascensio

Rogers will play. He’s had a week off finally.

The majority of clubs that enter the FA Cup don't have contracted players, if you don't cup-tie players you could have some that play for numerous clubs each year.

Nothing if you think a player moving every few weeks is good for the clubs it affects. It isn't. Football exists outside of something that would benefit us with one player.

I think I'll revise my 3-1 win to a 6-1 or 6-2 one.
Similar to Celtic and how should have scored at least 6

Rashy gets a hatty!
I haven't decided upon or seen any signs for other scorers

Up The Villa!

So three seperate places a rash has broken out on your body was obviously one sign. If you have a sex dream between now and the match, will that be a sign Rogers gets one?

No need to be crude. This is a pre match forum. Doesn’t even belong in the dreams and superstitions thread
plus doesn’t even make sense!

Let’s make it clear Rashy is Rashford Hatty is Hat trick!

Do you think CBears? Zero chance though?
I’m in agreement with LVillan

I would say Sunday's game is perfectly positioned for both Marco and Marcus to have plenty of game time 60+minutes.

I reckon Malen up front, Rogers, Ramsey and Bailey behind him.

Rashford and Asensio replace Ramsey and Bailey in the second half.

i think Emery will use this week and the game to integrate the new players into the team, some will start some will come on from the bench.

Unless forced to by injury Emery doesn't seem to like to putting new signings straight into the starting 11.

You are the person who predicted 6 goals, three from Rashford and then stated you had seen no signs to predict the other scorers. If you post trash like that, trash will be spewed back.

It is a shame as the fans would be up for it seeing Malen flanked by Asensio and Rashford right at the start. Although the question then is what attacking options would be available if it wasn't working.

Rashford and Asensio replace Ramsey and Bailey in the second half.

Around the 60 minute mark on Sunday - "Replacing Leon Bailey and Donyell Malen, please welcome Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashrord".
