Think we draw, no chance of a clean sheet but we score a goal in every game. We should get a penalty eventually and in that case maybe we win.

 

[Mr Pink]

Going to be end to end this. Could be one of the games of the season.

We'll look way more dangerous with more space.

Who fairs better at winning the ball back and transitiioning will probably win.

Im going 3-2 Spurs.

Such a huge game - hope we rise to the occasion like when we needed to win at Man City to clinch CL under Redknapp; Crouchie bagged the winner. COYS.

They have a (hopefully gruelling) trip to the Netherlands to face Ajax in the Europa Conference on Thursday which will impact their preparation for a 1pm kick off on the Sunday. We need to exploit this and start fast but it has not been a strength of ours recently but four of the last five games have been against defensive teams and, Everton apart we have had trouble breaking them down in the first half. Maybe with Villa going for it we can find more space. We have a near fully fit squad and we need to be bang up for this game because defeat would leave us eight points adrift of Villa with games rapidly running out. It is imperative that the gap remains the same or decreases by the end of the match on Sunday. I foresee us finishing this game strongly and that strong finish will yield us three massive points. Aston Villa 1 Tottenham Hotspur 3. COYS!

Friendly reminder that they've thought about that and the game starts at 1pm. Your Sunday roast with mom is saved.


Match time and OP amended - Geez

Not sure how roast saved by 1:00pm KO though

Unfortunately my Mam passed away last November. Thank you for the sentiment though.

Definitely hoping Ajax turn up and give them a bit of a test in Amsterdam tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear that. Condolences.

Intrigued to see how we play against a side that gives us a little more room to play in. It's been a hard slog for us over the last few weeks with all these teams sitting so deep.

Villa were lucky against us earlier in the season.

 

[keithtighe93]

We need to use Timo & Sonny over the top at every opportunity

 

[BigVic]

I genuinely think we will win this one. They will play into our hands.

 

[Styopa]

Agree this feels like a different sort of challenge to the ones we have faced in the last few weeks. The Villa fans will be up for this, and, I imagine, will expect their team to play on the front foot. Hopefully this will give us more space in the attacking areas to create.

I think this is a big victory, but am not sure for who

I am way ahead of you. I bought so many gifts and took my mother out to dinner already that I am excused from the usual meeting this Sunday. I obviously out-manoeuvred my siblings as well, so I am definitely going to win Mother's Day this year.

Should be a good game I hope!

Fancy us big time. They'll play right into our hands.

 

[Mr Pink]

Fancy us big time. They'll play right into our hands.

They will.

And playing away on Thursday will probably see them tire in the second half..

Really, really fancy us to exploit that.
