4-1 win



Bizot

Cash
Konsa
Mings
Digne

Kamara
McGinn

Malen
Tielemans
Rogers

Watkins

Will be interesting to see the line-up.  Think the line-up above looks pretty much the one I'd expect, with the only questions being Mings or Torres, does Rogers play as a number 10 or on the left and how does the rest of the midfield look depending on that decision?  Rogers as number 10, then surely McGinn starts on the left, with Kamara and Tielemans central.  Rogers on the left could mean McGinn at number 10 or if Tielemans plays further forward then Onana could partner Kamara.

Wouldn't be all that surprised if he gave Buendia a go today at 10. Hopefully not Rogers on the right anyway.

It’s not the game for Buendia I don’t think, certainly not as a 10. Newcastle are horrible and physical.

I had a dream, we lost 4-6 after being 3-1 up.

Sounds more like Tim Henman than Unai's Villa.

Might be a game for Onana.

We scored some belters last season but the one he scored against Newcastle was probably my favourite.

Won't be easy, but I'm going for us to win by the odd goal.
