I’ve just taken advantage of the Palace returns and bagged a pair of tickets in the Doug. We always draw on my rare visits to VP. So it will be 1-1

My lad's done seven games now and has a record of one draw and six wins. So if that run continues on Sunday we can start talking about a crowd-funder for his season ticket.

Sod that, just make him manager

What position does he play?

CM/DM. He was superb in pre-season.

Has anything been mentioned on what the injury for the lesser spotted Garcia is and when he might be back?

All I can find is that it's a muscle injury and he's due back after the international break.

They're quietly optimistic that they'll only have to amputate one of his legs.

We love a crocked midfielder.

Tielemens and Bogarde knowing Unai.

Not a chance McGinn will get a full game in the middle of the park, might as well show-horn him in elsewhere.

Without Onana we'll get bullied by Palace again. Not going to be pretty.

madness as Kamara and Wharton aren’t the biggest in midfield. And Hughes is a rat.

Mental how they always smash us off the park.

Palace haven't beaten Villa at Villa Park in the Prem since 2013 so they don't always smash us off the park...

Onana's as soft as shite

Tielemans and McGinn might actually outplay them

We'll play around them, they won't get near any of our players or the ball. #Unaiball
