They've only beaten us at SJP twice in the Premier League. Last time was in 2005 in one of the most self destructive games I've ever seen.

 

Played 28, won 18, drawn 8 and lost 2.

 

The other one was because of Uriah Rennie.

Sounds like Bruno has a chance of making it


Any doubt and I really think he should have a rest.  Now Tripps is back, Miley / Ramsey are more than fine for cover.  I would give the latter a go against his old club.

We expecting many changes ? Really hope Wissa starts again.

Miley, Ramsey and Woltemade in would be my guess, with Burn back on the bench. I think we need Wissa's pace and freshness more at PSG and playing on Sunday would likely be too much for him still.

Six pointer. Finishing above them is essential if we seriously have top 4 or 6 ambitions.

Not sure we have to finish above them to be top 6 like. Top 4? Aye, most probably.

 

Although CL is guaranteed for 5th now.

I think Sunday is more important tbh, or perhaps just more realistic.

Cut out the quick zipped pass from the keeper into Watkins on the halfway line to play out to the wing and we take out a lot of their threat. 

Martinez was injured last night, hopefully missing Sunday.

If Villa win Europa, finish top 5 and English clubs get the extra spot will that open 6th place for CL?

 

I had the same question this morning. Only read the headlines, but Villa's position in the CL spots seems solid - and the headlines indicate he's all in on the Europa.

Could tell what a miss he was for them when we played them in August compared to last season away (though Bizet made some good saves). Guess it goes back to how having a keeper with feet influences how you play.

I’m sure McGinn is a massive help with the passes out from the back, too. Especially if he is drifting in from that wide position. Always gets his big arse in the way and draws a foul or manages to help the ball on and turn us around.

He’s been poor all season for them.

If that's the case it just highlights even more the fact that we need a keeper with feet and that it can impact you more than simply keeping the ball out of the net. He's only let in 17 in 18 in the league this season and they're in the top 4. Give us some of that please.

They’re a better footballing side than us but the overall level of quality of the players is very close. Reckon Eddie will have the team snarling and ready to kick them all over, force fuck ups and nick some goals.

If we finish 8th but win the Champions League do we automatically qualify for the competition next season?

yes

Harvey Barnes has six and six assists versus Villa, but five of the goals were for Leicester.

I think Brummie might have said it, but they see him as a bogey player for them.
