MATCH DAY BLOG: ASTON VILLA

I always forget: if I lock a post before the game, you can't comment. So here is a blog where you can comment and say really nice things about my writing and insights.

Team news is pretty rough. Saliba is out, we have no right backs, so we're rolling with Timber in the middle, Partey on the right, and a quite turgid midfield offering with Merino stepping in.

The forward line has a little more pace with Martinelli stepping in, but it still feels really weak, especially when you look at the total lack of options we have coming from the bench.

If we're going to win the Premier League this season, we're doing it the hard way. The unblessed way. Lady Luck has flipped us off after we cut her off on the Journey To Glory Highway.

But... isn't that... the Arsenal Way?

I believe it is. This afternoon is going to be brutal. Let's hope we beat Emery and the home fans show up HARD for the boys.

We'll be going LIVE after the game. Subscribe if you want to watch it live. It'll go out on Monday for everyone else.

ENJOY! x
