2-0.

[Smirker]

A win would be huge. We're almost there 

[rob_bridge]

2.1 to us.

[Baldy]

No game for 6 days after this one. Begin with same starting eleven as they deserve it.

Villa 2 Sunderland 0

[Richard]

My first game of the season so we better win and I think we will but it will be close. 2 1, Watkins and Rogers.

3-1 Villa but Sunderland are no mugs

They got a pretty fortunate result at home versus a very poor Spurs side last time out, and have generally been in a rut of poor form that would probably have had them alongside Burnley had it happened earlier in the season.

We should be murdering them and I think we will. It's our time.

They beat Newcastle and Leeds away in March, their form is not too bad. We should have enough to beat them but won't be easy.

Yes you're right; on closer inspection, it's been their home form that has been woeful, their away form having been pretty decent.

Still, we should be murdering them!

[Max Villan]

Come on Villa, let's get the points against these and Fulham and wrap the top four chase up.

Which is quite impressive, given they didn't lose a home game until the middle of February.

[Crown Hill]

Anybody else going to the fans forum beforehand?

[PaulWinch again]

They’re decent and physical. We need to play well.

Brobbey could easily have been sent off against Spurs. Wonder if we'll need the muscle of Mings or Lindelof to handle him.
