Don't forget we play Leicester 2 days later so there must be some rotation, i expect Ward, Riedewald, Benteke and Townsend to start

I predict (with some degree of confidence) that we won't concede as many goals as we did last Saturday!

1-1 draw
COYP.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

2-0 to the Mighty Eagles, one from Zaha and one from Benteke, will ensure a good Christmas for us all and from all your mates in OZ, have a happy, safe and healthy Christmas, drown those little mutants and flush em down the dunny (translation - bog).

On plus side when we played them after the covid lock down last season i was sure we would beat them as they were in the drop zone and looked like they were going down. Their win against Palace was the spark that got them on the run that kept them up. Grealish was winning free kicks around the box and they scored a lot from the resulting set plays. I am sure we won't under estimate them this time and a score draw won't be a bad result. It will be interesting to see who plays against Villa and then who in turn plays against Leicester. Last season you could guarantee it would be virtually the same team but i think there will be a lot of rotation this time with Guaita and Zaha the only players you can expect to start in both games.

Vila to score at least 3 and win.
