Great preview. Nice respect shown to Villa too, although I honestly don't think they will score. Saw in last weekend's papers they've had fewer shots on goal than any other team in the league, which is interesting given they are 8th, but does suggest they are clinical at least (and we all know they are a threat on the break, which should hopefully lead to an open, attacking game).
I wonder if Villa will play with 5 in midfield? Try and lessen Barry's impact on the game? If so that would only leave one forward, which should take the pressure off our defence somewhat. Either way, I reckon with Dunne's accidents and our prolific goalscoring I will optimistically go for 0-3. Take nothing for granted though, we're going to have to be on top of our game - they aren't mugs.
