Philogene and Rogers start.

Not paticularly inspiring that said very little other choice.

*TODAY'S LOCKED-IN BET* 

Cole Palmer is yet to score against Villa. You know the script, it's more obvious than an Australian soap opera.

Is Bailey injured?

[Nigel]

Philogene shows how we are going to play this

[foreveryoung]

RIP Villa.

No he's on the bench. 

Looks like we will try and keep this tight and go for it in the last 20

More controlled?

Does it indicate we'll want more possession rather than counter attacking stuff?

[Delphinho123]

Was hoping Pau would be dropped but I suppose that line up isn’t bad. Hopefully we can get to half time level.

Problem is we have no outlet. Need a big performance from Rogers today, he can’t be a passenger again. I’m hoping he’s fired up to out do his mate Palmer.

[Pongo Waring]

Chill guys. Emery knows what he's doing.

And if you don't believe in him no more, then call for him to be sacked.

Big faith in Philogene. Hope he's up for it. Otherwise as expected. 

Philogene is a defensive choice. Cautious again.

Honest question? Why drop Pau? Do you think he’s been bad recently? 

I assume you’d start Mings? Or go with Carlos and Konsa.

That’s the spirit

Philogene is a Puskas Nominated footballer. Will be up for it.

[LakotaDakota]

5-0 win puts us 5th so lets do that

You obviously have a better solution, care to share ?

[rbcuk]

Last season every game i thought we’d get all 3 points how we was playing, nothing like it this season, so many players out of form, most I see today is a draw

[mjmooney]

Konsa back is good news. 

[The_Steve]

Hope Rogers brings his shooting boots today
