FA Cup Winners vs Aston Villa. Sunday 1st Feb. 1.30pm.

[AFC Leveller]

Theo and Mesut will need to work their nuts off today to make up for the massive loss of Alexis.

Ozil....working hard....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Andy Townsend winner.

And of course Ramsey will have to be disciplined and resist being the One Musketeer.

Ozil....working hard....

Well let's see.

[Niall_Quinn]

Villa haven't scored in 6 of their last 7 games

Surely we're winning this? Their best player is Anthony Taylor and if we contain him then I don't see where they are getting a goal from.

Villa's record at the Emirates is won 3 lost 3 drawn 2... not the worst record out there so it could be a long afternoon.

At least one of those wins was suspect, to say the least.

Isn't Taylor being the ref likely to work in our favour......

Don't ref's in this position go into the game wary of seeming unfair to a given time as a result of the abuse he's received from a previous game?

Don't think Ozil/Carzorla wide is a huge issue for this isolated game......these are intelligent players here and it's not all down to the position they start from.

Antony Taylor was outstanding for them last season, i cannot see him being as influential this time around but you never know.

Would be a novel development to see a ref working in our favour.
