If the Town we know turns up and competes, we might see a surprise. We score 1st and Villa come back and an entertaining draw results. Another valuable point. 2-2
I'd be more optimistic for a result if Villa had a mid-week Champions League commitment thrown into the fixture list - but unfortunately for us, they qualified automatically for the next stage. I think it's going to be a hard match. Villa have an abundance of attacking options and made some ambitious transfers in January (although they did lose Duran - always good for a goal from the bench - to Saudi). I'm in the same boat as Big Al for this one, a 3-1 defeat for Town.
It would be just like us to snatch a surprise equaliser here and then lose to Spuds next week. So, 1-1.
My heart says we'll cause an upset and get a some points today, but my head says they'll be too good, and unfortunately my head is bigger than my heart...2-0 defeat
Morsy and Davis both not in the squad (guessing both injured / ill). When was the last league game neither of them played?
**** it, Enciso now off injured and looking distraught. We're not having any luck with inquiries to key players. Morsy out today with a thigh problem. Mings also been brought on by Villa for Kamara.
