Aston Villa Predictions.

I suspect the answer might be Devenny. Possible line-up:

Henderson

Canvot
Lacroix
Guehi

Devenny
Wharton
Hughes
Mitchell

Johnson
Mateta
Pino

Bench:
Benitez, Sosa, Richards, Adamarola, Rodney, Benamar, Uche, Esse, Drakes-Thomas

Richards is back which indicates to me we'll be meaner at the back again

He's our main aerial threat and defender. However, I always prefer Lerma throwing to Richards, as Richards has the best chance of getting the flick on. I don't like Richards taking long throws as then Guehi, Mateta, Lacroix don't quite offer enough in the air. Which is a Mateta conundrum - but Lacroix in particular could be more of a threat than he is currently, in my opinion. Guehi is ok in the air but we acknowledge he is not the biggest.

Why do we have to take so long to take a long throw ? Instead of giving the opposition time to set up their defence if we have someone who can throw long then they should do it quickly if we really want to gain an advantage.

A Villa win. Anything decent we do achieve is done by 60 minutes, from then on it is all plodding and the other team takes total control. Glasner should try 442 or 4411, even 451.

agree about the 60 mins - exhausted squad by then! Need fresh legs, not there. Can't change from 3 at back - don't have 4 defenders!! (Two goalies allowed?)
 
Im going 2-1 home win. We need to take our chances, but Wharton is looking class, get Johnsons pace in behind and anything is possible (would be helpful if the ref decides to send a few of their players off in the first half...), but even if he doesn't we can do this! COYP!
 
0-3, but could be worse.

On current form (and on paper), they should and probably will destroy us, ending our brilliant run against them in dramatic fashion.
 
It's time for Pino to prove he is a current Spanish international. He shows us glimpses but is yet to harmonise with Mateta but when it eventually happens we can feel more confident, but it is taking time.

Hopefully the speed of Johnson can gel with both Pino and Wharton. It would be better if Mateta could hold the ball up and, especially, use his head but he's in a rut and gets constantly hassled off the ball so don't expect much from him tonight.
It's been said Glasner is concentrating on defending set piece plays so I hope he is successful in that.

If we are more cohesive then I am hoping for at least a point but we will need to be on top of our game.
 
Villa are in top form
Palace don't have a single shooting boot, never mind a pair. Not our best defence playing tonight.
I think Palace are due an upset, so 2-1 to the Eagles,.. somehow
 
Looks like half the stadium tickets are up for resale. Looks like not many people fancy our chances in the cold tonight 🥶

Happy with any kind of draw. Ollie watkins and rogers will bully our low on confidence defence. Maybe 2-1 villa.
