We're in for a slog!

It's a six percent difference between Man City & Everton. Misleading graph starts at 50 rather than 0.

No worries lads pundit Mark Laurenson of the other potential has predicted a Villa winaswe will be overconfident.......every time he predicts us to lose - we win

We will be over-confident? Because we beat Leeds? Can't stand him.

There are plenty of candidates for that title and at least Lampard had a very good spell at the end of last season, which kept us up.

Who, other than Mike Walker, are all these other candidates?

On topic, forecasting match results is pretty much a calculated guess and I'm just hoping for the best with a bit more confidence
that we can do better than in our last few efforts against these.

Him and Mike Walker are the two main candidates.

Look at the records, he was a stain on the history of our club.

Let’s have ittttt

Are we assuming same side as Leeds ? I’m hoping villa’s slightly more offensive style gives us the opportunity to break in a similar style against arsenal but the continuing absence of Calvert-Lewin is a huge loss in terms of threat and playing style .

I hope we can sneak a couple of goals as I think we might need more than one , I’m encouraged Villa have apparently conceded more than a 1/3 of their goals from set pieces .

Unchanged for me..

Pickford

Coleman - Coady - Tarkowski - Myko

Iwobi - Onana - Douc - Gana - McNeil

Maupay​

It was quite apparent against Leeds, that Mc Neil's crosses where not being anticipated by Maupay or Iwobi. Both are not natural centre forwards. If Mc Neil plays ,I think Simms slow as he is must be the more effective option plus gives their defence more to occupy them and create more space

More of the same for this game as the last two home games.

Nice day for it

More of the same for this game as the last two home games.

Absolutely - our home form/results may be our get out of jail card so we must optimise the points available.

But, of course, this is Everton!

 

[fandjango]

We need to force them into hitting long balls when and where possible to unsettle their "system".

Press press and press high should do it

 

[PhilEFC]

I like Villa a great club with great fans, but I hope they don’t turn up today.

 

[Donegal blue]

Come on Everton, let's av em. Consistency is key now.

Big day today, am worried.
