f**k off BT Sport.

Ah April fools day game eh. Well we know what that means.

Accepting the players not available I'd like to see same starting eleven as today with the exception  of Mudryk for Pulisic and possibly Fofana for Havertz. 

Kante will have had two more weeks of training and hopefully gets some playing time. Maybe 25 minutes.

The 10th place six pointer the huge prize of the Conference League will be a step closer for the winners.

Skybet have the home win at 8/13 with Villa only 9/2 for the away win.

I find that quite strange, seeing as we are 15th in the PL for our home form in the last 6 games (2-2-2) whereas Villa are 2nd in the league on away form for the last 6 games (4-1-1).

Villa are 6th in the PL overall since Emery took over. Chelsea are 11th in the same time period.

@coco likes to confuse everyone. He once convinced me that a game was a week early (it wasn’t just me being a f**king idiot, honest).

Those odds sound about right.

Chelsea P13 at home GD+6 - Lost 3

Villa P13 away GD-8 - Lost 6

Villa Away 0-2-5 GD -12 under Gerrard and 4-1-1 GD +4 with Emery.

Chelsea Home 2-1-0 GD +2 with TT, and then 4-3-3 GD +4 with Potter. 

Given the recent form under the new managers, I'm surprised the bookies have such generous odds for a Villa win, granted they aren't often wrong LOL

Yeah but you don't bet on data like that unless you like losing money, who are those teams each manager played? which players were available for them? which players were injured?

Well Emery has beaten both Brighton and Tottenham away for starters ... how did those ones  go for us under Potter ? 🙂

God your right, get your house on it mate.

Anthony Taylor officiating the Liverpool game. 

Cannot wait for what game costing decision he makes next. 

I’m excited for the 47 changes made to squad for this one so we get that important bit of rotation. Can’t have too much momentum with a specific group of players. Heard that’s against the rules 

It seems  ages since we last played.

Ring the ticket office and tell them it was stolen 🙂 

International break, just before the CL game, I think this game will be a bit of a write-off. If we don't win, few will get upset because the bigger picture is the CL game.

I wish. It's my season ticket. Sold that game on ticket exchange.

Bound to be a thriller!
