Massive match Sunday and we need to take something but a win will take and keep us out of the bottom three.
Hopefully Summerville is back and if he is just one decision for Nuno to make and that is which of the centre backs misses out... Really tough decision for him as Disasi has been great since arriving, Dinos and Todibo were both outstanding against City.
If Summerville isn't fit I'm guessing he'll go for another midfielder and hope he does as I'd prefer not to go three at the back again.

Tielemens back for Villa. Can’t see anything other than a defeat, sadly.
"...Youri Tielemans has returned to training and "is feeling good," but Emery doesn't know yet if he will be fit enough to be in contention to face West Ham..."
...and that degree of certainty makes all the difference to you?
It does if one is purposely trying to shit stir as per usual.

Hopefully he only makes the bench for a token run out after being out for so long with a fucked ankle. It's not really a game to rush him back in to starting as they have a keen eye on Emery's 5th Europa League Cup in Europe now in the Quarters.

Away win. I've thought that for the last month or so.
Villa's midfield is in the sick bay.
Tielemans is vital for them in making them tick. Massive loss for them. It went to ratshit since his injury.
McGinn is hugely underrated as well. His energy and work rate keeps them ticking as well as Kamara who is also out. Arguably the best midfield in the prem until they got injured.
They'll be bamboozled by Soucek and Pablo looking like ice dance giraffes in tandem..

The 3 big players for me they've got that they can't do without is Martinez, Rogers, Tielemans. Ginn is important but I don't think they got to pot like they would without the other 3.

Definitely harder to get a win if Jimmy is out.

Jimmy is still out unfortunately
That's any small chance of a win now gone IMO.
It doesn't help but we shall see, I'm not giving up hope.

We can but hope. If we do achieve a rare win up there, we can really start to believe the great escape is on.
Why can't you believe it now? It is most definitely on. 🎚

I would snap your hand off for a draw.
Would definitely take a draw, but we are capable of winning there if it all clicks.
I was thinking the same, but last night will have helped them find a bit of form.
If we win sunday then we stay up, it will really push us forward mentally.
A win would be absolutely massive, a point will keep us level with either Forest or Spurs which we would have all taken before City and Villa.
Even a loss has us only a point behind maximum

Our defence seems much better drilled to contain any threat Villa currently pose, and I think we can compete with their weakened midfield. Its whether we can create and put our chances away, especially if Summerville doesn't make it, based on that I'd be more than happy with a point up there.

Morgan Rogers often gets the headlines but I really rate John Mcginn, terrific player.

It was easier for us to get a point at home against City,having just got thumped by Real, than for us to win at 4th Placed,Q/F of EL Aston Villa.
It's fucking simple Fraser you dork.
We'll get a point,just.but if we sit back and allow Villa to shoot then we won't even get a point.
We have the players to get a point but not if Nuno goes to negative,there's no way we be able to do the same again. Mavro won't have a face left...
So as usual with you it's contradiction form doesn't matter until it suits you.. So because City lost to multiple times European champions Real Madrid it makes it easier than Villa who beat a bang average French side. Leeds drew at Villa, Brentford won at Villa, Chelsea thrashed Villa at Villa but they're harder to get a point against than Man City who regularly thrash us.. Go have a look at the bookies odds for both fixtures and I guarantee you that the odds for a draw against City were longer than the odds for a draw against Villa... Your logic is all over the place
Just looked we're 3/1 to beat Villa we were longer to beat City ... Villa aren't even odds on to win they're just over evens
Oh and you didn't say a win would be harder than a point at home you said
A point here will be great,harder than against City.
