This will be the worst game of football, both sides trying to bait the other into pressing and lots of niggly fouls stopping each other transitioning. Either they will get a goal through an error from a corner or we'll get one from a deflected shot.

There will be a referee error to be annoyed about.

I have no expectations at all, so if we get something I'll be delighted.

Normally I'd be nervous but I don't mind losing to these. The fans are so great, as is the manager.
Good point well made.

Get ready for Saka rolling around on the floor anytime a Villa player gets within 2 foot of him.

Hopefully we can defend their set pieces - would love to see Arteta getting sent off as we win!

Getting more confident as the game approaches, I think we’ll win today.

I cannot accept some opinions on here that veer toward “ it’s a bonus game, don’t mind if we don’t get anything out of it, can see us getting anything”  etc etc. About time we get rid of the underdog monkey on our shoulders in top end games. We are good enough and smart enough to win and win we will.
