Not gonna be as easy as people think...

I lived in Brum supported the Blues Villans are .. ok Im not going to get my myself banned..

[Jase 43,479]

Oh joy. Our bogey team of sorts. Never easy against these lots against at Villa Park.

Worth mentioning also that Mourinho has yet to win at Villa Park in the league (just like with St. James' Park) - D3 L1.

9 more finals to go

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Dont care who starts now, just the 3 points. Whether its torres, etoo, ba, false 9, luiz as striker. I just want 3 points

[didierforever 7,349]

A whole week's rest. Villa Is SHIT at home and it would require a spexial effort from one of the teams for us to not have all 3 points.

Aaah yes. Memories!

[bushman 2,043]

Sorry, my mistake.

[iceboy 992]

3points, thanks.

Now this is a match I'm scared of. I think we're much more likely to drop points to this lot than to Arsenal, imho.

[The Chels 2,502]

Hoping this match will be the one in which we see the rebirth of the Matic-Luiz pivot! I don't expect Schurrle to be playing after his poor performance yesterday.

I saw Villa in their match against Everton at Goodison. Although went 1-0 up they looked losers all the way - final result 2-1 to Everton.

Chelsea's form peaked in the match against City (1-0, could have been 3-0).

I don't believe in the "cushion theory" because City are well equipped to handle their three matches in hand. In case we finish level who wins the title ? What is the criterion ?

[Marvin123 483]

Aaah yes. Memories!

I was standing In The holte end when this happened. Really hard to be quiet!!!

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Time to rotate just abit?

Hopefully Torres is fit for this one and it'll be interesting to see if Schurrle plays again with the Galatasaray game a few days later.

Ivanovic Cahill Terry Azpi

Matic Ramires

Willian Oscar Hazard

Torres

Could see Lamps starting in midfield or Schurrle starting in place of Oscar or Willian but a lot depends on what Jose wants to do on Tuesday. Torres is the 'away' striker apparently and Villa can be a bit of an athletic team so maybe he tries to match them. Tricky game potentially.
