The Prophet

Will needs to stick to team news.

Get well soon Eddie, glad it's nothing sinister. Fingers crossed it doesn't disrupt us too much.

Villa have only lost once at Villa Park this season, but they have drawn quite a few.

Think it could be a bit of a Brentford-esque scrap. I'll go for an ugly 2-1.

They've been on a good run away from home, but it feels like that could be coming to an end with a draw at Southampton and a hiding at City. On the one hand, they're exactly the type of side we've struggled against at home. Defensively solid and dangerous on the break. On the other, they're very beatable and will no doubt have the cup SF in the back of their mind. No reason we should be settling for a point here, with a tough trip to Villa Park coming up.

He couldn't could he?

Win on Wednesday abd we're five points clear of 6th.

Zirkzee has been there best player, been impressed with him.

He was very good up until the Leicester game.

Thought the balance of chances was quite even.

Frustrating half. They're here for the taking, but we need to step it up.

They're essentially in pre-season mind. He's just using this time to experiment with different tactics.

That Man United midfield lacks a bit of pace.

We were?

His hearing has been adjourned until the summer.

Getting Fulham (h) vibes about this. Hopefully I'm just being a massive fanny and we batter them.

This time next week we'll have played three games and have a pretty good idea where our season is heading. Exciting times.

Win the next two and there's daylight to 5th.

It's probably just me, but just doesn't seem the best timing. Didn't think it was to begin with though to be fair. I'm sure it'll be fine, Wor Flags are superb and rarely get it wrong, but a tribute to a former manager while we fight for Champions League and our current trophy winning manager is hospitalised doesn't seem like a tone setter.

You'd have thought the King Kev display will be pushed back again, shame as it looks as though a lot of effort went into it.

Big fan of Fernandes out Southampton.

Strange Rogers never seems to get a rest. You'd have thought today would have been the prime game.

I wonder if Burnley's likely promotion will impact any potential Trafford deal.
