Ta. Maybe RVP will start then.
I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this game. We'll either drop points or pick up an injury imo 
I get a bad feeling before most away games. It is potentially a tricky game. But then again an early goal and I think Villa will fall part easy enough.
Benteke looks like a handful which could be worrying.
I am confident that we will put 2-3 past Villa which should be enough though.

It's not a break. There are international games midweek, but we play again next weekend
Are they WC qualifiers or just pointless friendlies?
Friendlies in Europe anyways. Not sure about rest of world
Mostly friendlies, there are a few WCQs though.
Hope we don't pick up any injuries. I don't understand the need to play these games. Qualifiers are different but friendlies are more trouble than they're worth: a bit like the League Cup.
Pre-match moaning.
Nothing like it mate. Don't knock it.
Twitter lineups?
Get the feeling Powell will be on the bench today.
Made RVP my fantasy football captain this week, so sorry guys.
No Evans.

Smalling in then?
Rio and Rio lite in the middle then.

Thank God Carrick starts in midfield rather than at CB.
I thought it was a certainty that Evans would not play. He could have recovered, but the last thing we want at the moment is to throw in a not 100% centre back in.

Can he play centre half?
Nah. Scholes always has a good game against the Villa.
Pretty standard team, delighted to see Smalling start again.
Feeling a bit nervous, for some reason..

MUTV is free until kickoff if people want the buildup.
Looks alright to me
Carrick-Scholes...in an away game..reckon we'd get bypassed in midfield.
I hope we have enough legs in midfield. Villa are a not a good side but we've seen the likes of Bannan overrun us before just through doggedness. I hope we don't wilt under the pressure of hard running from Villa.
Good side. We can always bring Cleverley on if needs be anyway.
Carrick and Fletcher had the worst games of their careers in that match to be fair.
I think the same, if we get a quick goal I think thier self belief will disappear quicker than a fart in a wind tunnel.
