Wolves vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

Hard to downplay what 3 points would mean tonight. Cannot see Chelsea getting anything at the Emirates, that's a 9 point gap going into Wednesday with the opportunity to turn it into 12 on the night, which would be an absolutely colossal gap for Chelsea to chase with their run in.

Enormous 5 days for the club coming up.

Please don’t, I have seen a few too many un hatched chickens on here over the last year.

Yes and now that Chelsea have also got PSG twice in March I can see them slipping away from contention rapidly.

That’d be nice but we need to start consistently winning games to properly exert pressure on them.

Their record against us at their place is ridiculously strong. Time to address that.

Equally they've never been as bad as they are now.

We were pathetic in the extreme there last season. Huge selection decision for Emery, really isn't a night for stalwarts like Mings, Digne or Watkins. We will get dragged into a battle if Mings is let have the ball again and Watkins is stuck to the ground up front. Let Torres and Luiz dictate the play and expose these guys. Onana to physically impose himself early on when they are getting stuck into us. If he doesnt do it early on hook him at half time, he either steps up to the mark tonight or pisses off. Really don't have much faith in likes of Sancho and Barkley, especially if it turns into a battle. Control the ball and they can have an impact. Think Barkley might get a goal tonight. Got into good positions v Leeds.

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Onana, Luiz, Sancho, Rogers, Barkley, Tammy.

Torres not in any of the pre match training photos, might not be an indicator of anything.

If that's the case then Lindelof should be in. On form he should be anyway. Don't think he's had a bad game for us at centre back yet.

He was pictured in the training video posted on the 25th with them all in the gym.
