Hopefully Arsenal doesn't get embarrassed by Villa like they did last year. That would definitely be nice!

Brighton x Man City

 

[Savant]

My favorite highlight from last trip OT if we are doing videos (the music at the end makes it)

 

[S E P H]

Sweet, another non-weekend game that NBC will probably put on Peacock.

 

[AB13]

Time to play Aubameyang and Lacazette as a strike duo together again.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville made their Manchester United and Liverpool combined XI. Carragher left out Cristiano Ronaldo and Neville left out Bruno Fernandes. Are they both correct?

The big question would be who is a managing them. Ronaldo would be basically useless in a Klopp system because he doesn’t press at all.

Bruno would also be impacted a lot because they don’t have that typical hole in behind the #9 for him to operate in.

Oh great, Bruno is a doubt for the game....

He’s playing

100% he will play. United always do that tactic (have doubtful players) versus Liverpool.

As for LFC get ready for... Long ball, long ball, long ball!! I fully expect United to target Rashford all game with long ball behind TAA and/or between Matip and VVD.

LFC high line always expose them for that tactic and United is one of the best to exploit that strategy. I hope LFC are ready for it unlike against City and Atletico but for some reason I feel they will not.

He was spotted limping after the Atalanta game and in training.

Rashford was subbed off due to a dead leg, it's not sure if he'll recover in time.

They both play

 

[JeffreyLFC]

No doubt, Ole job might be on the line. They will play them.

 

[AB13]

That goal should stand. Konza pulls Laca more than the other way round

 

[AB13]

Tasty start by Arsenal
Good tempo
Good intention
Need to maintain this
We've seen this before, need to capitalise before Villa inevitably get into the game

 

[AB13]

Mings should be sent off for that elbow. Disgusting .

Nope. United aren't Watford, who switch managers once a month.

 

[hatterson]

Easily could be red on Laca there

 

[AB13]

Villa should already have two reds and a goal against.

 

[S E P H]

Emilio is going to shut us out...

Nah, but the post might.

 

[AB13]

Got the goal after a fantastic start, can’t wait for Arteta to park the bus for 70 minutes now.

 

[hatterson]

Really bold defensive strategy of ducking out of the way of a corner at the near post. Interesting ideas by Villa.

 

[bluesfan94]

Saka should take a touch there. He has acres
