Rest players for Gala? I'm sorry, I don't get that at all. The league is the priority and by some distance and history as well as tactical analysis suggest that this will be a very tough game.

Of course I want us to qualify in the CL, but in the league, we have 9 cup finals remaining.

Well said.

I have to agree.

Now that we have won the Champions League that weight has been lifted, I haven't been as obsessive about it as I used to be. The league though is something we have under achieved in under Abramovich, 3 league titles in 10 years really isn't good enough.

And say if we don't win the title this season, that will be 4 seasons that we haven't won the title in, for a club with the financial backing we have it will be a disaster if we really fall that far behind.

In no way am i suggesting this will be a walkover, but our struggles at Villa Park and Villa being our bogey side has not been the case off late.

We have won our last two games away to Villa and it should have been 3, furthermore they were a top 6 team the last time we lost there, now their relegation fodder and apart from Agbonlahor, do they have any survivors from then?

We could drop points, but like with Fulham, a few slip ups when they were miles better than what they are now won't be the reason for it.

They out-played us at the bridge just a few months ago and probably deserved to win if it weren't for the HUGE help we got from the ref. Forget history, we've struggle a lot this season when we've let teams dominate us physically in midfield and VIlla are probably the team that does that best in the league after Stoke. I honestly worry more about this game than Arsenal at home.

I agree, but I would mix up the team just to get some rotation and fresh blood!

Cech

Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole

Luiz - Matic

Salah - Willian - Hazard

Eto'o

They probably deserved a draw would have probably been fair and we were pretty crap, not sure they did enough to warrant a win. Furthermore we dominated Stoke in 3 off the 4 half's vs them this season.

League Title > Champions League

Exactly this.. If we look at it two ways purely financial, winning the league the tv rights money is way more than the money you could get for winning champions league.

Secondly, if we want to claim to be the best in England like so many of us do after we beat the likes of City, United, Arsenal we have to win the league, because winning the league shows the rest who the best team in England is as long as we qualify for CL we will always have an opportunity to win it again since we have that monkey off our back now

Just to add I never thought we had a chance in CL this season but I do think we have a real shot at the league and we shouldn't take this chance to show the media and the rest of England that we are not to be messed with
