Big game for us with Forest, Bournemouth and Man City all pretty much guaranteed wins.

[Toronto Villa]

No poll. Amateur.

[PeterWithesShin]

Yes there is. Get yourself to Specsavers.

[PaulWinch again]

Very big, and difficult, game. We’ll need to be clinical.

[Toronto Villa]

Yes there is. Get yourself to Specsavers.

Nice you stuck one in after. Busted

[Toronto Villa]

We do quite well there for some odd reason. We need to win these games now vs Brighton, Forest and Newcastle. A massive series of league games upcoming.

[Smirker]

Time to stop messing about.

We haven't conceded a goal in our last three games, winning the last five.

Coming into form at the perfect time, hopefully.

2-0 Villa.

Six points from the next two and I'll genuinely start to believe that we're about to see the greatest end to a season in our history.

Any fewer than four and I'm going to assume that we're going to screw the whole thing up and everyone's going to be miserable all summer.

Brighton will hopefully be on a huge downer after yesterday .

[Somniloquism]

Brighton play openly so I can't see our attack not getting chances. It is how well we keep them out the other end.

With the same starting backline and defensive mid, but Rashford left, Watkins ahead of Asensio centre and Rogers/Bailey right side. Sorry on JJ but Rashford will be on a high anyway.

[Drummond]

A bunch of away wins this week would be nice.

[cdbearsfan]

I think this is our first away game that hasn't been televised since Leicester, in August.

[Dave]

Rashford left, Watkins ahead of Asensio centre and Rogers/Bailey right side.

Rogers on the right feels like he might as well not be in the team.

He's great, but it's starting to feel a bit like him and Asensio are Gerrard and Lampard for us.

Teams that are going to attack us, give Rogers the ball and let him run at their defence. Teams that are going to sit back, give Asensio the ball and let him.

Don't try and get them both in the side for the sake of it.
