    Big game. If Villa beat us you’d probably have to consider them as title contenders.

    Looking forward to this. Really good test for us, they’ve won 14 in a row at home so we need to be at our best to get anything.

    It isn't a must win. I don't even think those exist this early in the season.
    I fear for us after what Villa did to City last night, I haven't seen City dominated like that in a long time.
    We'd do well to get a point and I'd take that right now.

    Losing Tomi is a big blow, Zin will be taken to the cleaners by Villa in this game if he starts

    I didn't see Villa v Citeh, all you could say is look at our results compared to theirs and we have more chance

    I'd play Ram ofc but there's no chance of that, Villa will be all over Raya

    3-0 Watkins hatter (and it really could happen this time...)

    This also has to be put in the perspective that City hadn’t won any of their three previous league games and were low on confidence, and missing the player who is so crucial to them in Rodri.

    Their midfield just wasn’t up to it last night. Dont get me wrong, Villa is going to be the toughest away game we’ve faced all season. I think we have to be playing Jorginho and Rice to keep things tight especially with Tomiyasu injured. But I do think with the way Villa come forward, there’s space to exploit in behind them…Martinez is a mixed bag he’s either brilliant or shite.

    I think with how tight things are at the moment and because of our next game after this being at Anfield, it is a must win. A draw won’t be awful, but it might not be good enough

    If Villa were top and we were, say, 6 points behind them then I think you could declare it a must win to keep us in touch. But this early on the season with us on top, nah - there's too much football to be played, too many twists and turns to come. But a win would be a big statement, given their home record and form.

    Mathematically if we don’t win and Liverpool do, they go top.

    Fuck all the twists and turns in the season stuff, we want to be in control of our own destiny so this makes it a must win
