Not a hope should Villa be given any leeway after last year.

Villa haven't asked for any leeway. Came out straight away and said they'll field a team.

Exactly. Villa are doing what was advised for project restart. I have absolutely no idea how Newcastle and Fulham got to call their games off.

I expect a pumping but I'm also interested to see how some of the talked up youngsters get on.

I would imagine Liverpool will have a team full of youngsters also.

Well that and a mixture of senior squad players who never get minutes

Well that was bullshit...

Kelleher, N. Williams, R. Williams, Fabinho, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Jones, Mane, Minamino, Salah.

Subs: Alisson, Thiago, Firmino, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi, Shaqiri, Robertson, Phillips, Alexander-Arnold.

Way stronger than expected. Five first choice regulars in there. Maybe he feels they need a confidence boost ahead of the United game.

They better win now!

Not sure I would be playing Fabinho. I would argue he is our most important player at the minute!

Has to be for confidence...I hope it doesn't come back to bite him!

Who remembers Havant & Waterlooville?!

Lucas's finest moment!

Sometimes fellas need game time or maybe a bit more game time in a proper match. They could also have been trying out things. It may be a meaningless match but it doesn't mean don't play your big players

[Hound]

The pace of United's attack means I think we can't afford to play either of the reserve centre halves v the mancs. So it'll be Hendo and Fab for me.
Albeit that means Harry Maguire is bound to be very dangerous from set pieces.

Two assists from Shaq, so I'd be delighted to see him get the nod in midfield alongside Thiago and Gini.

I would agree with that but Fab has played every match lately. If he goes down we are in serious trouble.

Funny game last night. Villa did well but it did show that no matter how good you are, physically there is a step change from 17-18 to 20. Good to have Thiago back, he does look to have that different class in seeing passes. We probably have not had that since Couthino left. You wonder how many of those 1-1 draws would have been wins had he played?

Still concerned about the high line we play looking at the United game. Thats two goals (Son and last night) that have been identical. Our CHs ae not quick enough to recover and I would worry about Martial/Rashford/James pace, especially with Bruno's ability to pick a pass.

[brokencrossbar1]

About the high line I wouldn't be surprised to see Allison playing on the edge of the penalty box and sweeping. He has been doing that more and more recently.

If Matip is fit he plays with Fab, if not I d say Hendo plays CB. I'd imagine Shaq is better for the last 30 minutes at the minute. Come in and open the defence so I'd say the front 3 start, Thiago, Gini and 1 other, probably Jones if Hendo is in the back line
