Tomorrows a day for an early goal not to conserve energy!

Goal against you must mean?

I hope the crowd is up for this. The players deserve it. Worried it mignt just be a game we struggle with….draw

Let's have one of those win things today please, Villa.

Unsurprisingly we didn’t taken full advantage the last time teams around us dropped points - because it was Palace. Need to win today.

Their record away this season, W 4 L 4 D 2. They are better away than home. Other than beating Man Utd in a backs to the wall dogs of war 1-0, they have beaten Wolves, Forest and a still struggling Bournemouth. They have lost to who they would be expected to lose to, Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and then Leeds in the first home game.
Moyes will have them ready to scrap and rely then on Grealish to create.
But we should be beating them. With Onana and Kamara out, how Bogarde, Tielemans and McGinn handle their probable physicality is key.
I still think 3-1 with some uncomfortable moments, hoping and expecting the Holte to roar them on

Bit disappointed we couldn't stall the Malen deal until nearer the end of this transfer window but pretty sure there was a good reason. He must of known he was leaving before the Spuds game but still put in a great performance.

Tough game against the Toffees but should have just about enough to win by a goal.
