They are playing amazing football at the right time. A few weeks ago they were getting trounced by us and beating Blues against the run of play with a dodgy late goal.

Suddenly they are ripping teams apart and even losing a player to a red card looks like a blessing in disguise as salty old pro Ashley Cole comes up against Villa’s 2 worst players in Adomah or Green unless Delano throws Kodjia as a surprise starter he might have an easy day.

Whelan has to come back into the starting 11. Conor doesn’t do enough for me. Let him come on late as both teams tire.

I have a feeling we may be holding on for pens in this game so I hope Jed has a couple more heroic saves in him.
