. ........... V London Stadium 12th Mar 14:00 GMT VAR Tony Harrington Jarred Gillett: (14) - 64 2 Awaiting team news Awaiting team news West Ham 7/4: Draw 13/5: Aston Villa 13/10 .

"The same people with the same negativity week in week out. All a bit tedious now. Always love to read daveygs preview of the game, the tactics we should use and when substitutions should take place. When Moyes goes I hope he applies for the job because he knows so much."

Mubama was sent off tonight so won't be in the squad on Sunday.

Got to stop Watkins who is scoring every game. If he picks Cresswell again we will need Kudus doubling up on Bailey as he did excellently with Doan last night who is Freibergs best attacking player. Dont think he shoukd risk Zouma against especially against the speed of Watkins etc but cannot have Aguerd playing and he wont play Ogbonna Antonio upfront with Bowen and Kudus. Moyes will play the same starting 11 as he doesnt have or use a squad This season we seem to show promise in a couple of games only to fall on our arse next game. Wonder if we can get a run going this time or were Freiberg just not that good ? once again we ask if we “turned a corner”’ or is it back to being consistently inconsistent?

"We are going to need to attack more. Despite scoring 5 we only had 11 shots,7 on target. Villa won't be as slow to attack as Freiburg. There were moments when we were 3'0 up for 20 minutes and we defended on the D.To far back Villa will hurt us there. Paqueta and Antonio can only play 70 mins max. Thus we need to bring on subs early. Despite being 4-0 up and the game over Moyes took another 10 minutes to bring on the last subs. The Johnson was frigging weird. Why not bring on Earthy earlier ? We need to go at like last night and Brentford you know it makes sense Moyes"

Thanks Charley ....did we win?

I hope we approach the game like we want to fucking win it again. Will we? NOOO

"I'm glad Villa played last night as well, as we all know what Moyes would have come out with.. Can we win? Yes. Do I think we'll win? No."

Last match before a break we never seem to deliver.

Same team again except Areola for Fab I guess Will Watkins be out? McGinn suspended Our fab 4 on fire up front! COYI

Really looking forward to this and hope we start with the same team as last night.

Chris Sutton has boosted our chances on Sunday predicting a 2-1 win for Villa.

Last match before international break so no need to rest anyone. I’d be tempted to give Philips a start on the basis that he will be needed against Leverkusen and we somehow need to get him to play himself into form. Don’t know when the U21s play again but I’d play him in those as well if we can… he needs to play as much as possible.

Dr Matt You're throwing the game then....?

Both teams come off comfortable thrashings of European clubs to qualify for their respective quarter finals. I expect a cracking game where we will avenge our defeat at Villa Park. A full house cheering on our team too. Bring on the negativity.

"Thanks, Charley! I sincerely hope this thread has the same outcome as last night's."

Good morning all and after a magnificent night at the LS it's back to PL action Aston Villa had a tough mid week match against Ajax. Apparently Watkins' injury is not as bad as first thought COME ON YOU IRONSSSSSSSS
