Ads's team is probably what I'd go for too, except maybe with Abraham starting ahead of Watkins.  Isn't Barkley fit? If so, I'd have him on the bench instead of Hemmings

I think I'd prefer Maatsen in there rather than Sancho.

Emery in his presser saying Watkins and Onana fit for tomorrow. Alysson not ready just yet, though is training with first team.

Does anyone know of decent pubs near-ish to the ground that allow/welcome away supporters? Going to the game with my (adult) son. UTV

Big game, 3 points are crucial as far as I'm concerned. 3 points from 3 has left us looking wobbly in front of the chasing pack. Statement win please lads, 1-4...Rogers, Tammy, and a late brace from Watkins as a 75 minute sub.  Job done.

What’s with the helmets on the players (official social media pic)?

I assume it's because it's the Super Bowl this weekend and some kid in the marketing department has wrongly assumed that the average Villa supporter gives a toss and thought they'd make a nod to it.

Something to do with making their suits more aerodynamic.
