Aston Villa vs Leicester: Top Half by Dinner?
Just a quick fresh page.
Any Late Surprises Left for Villa?
Naturally, based on things said and the always relentless links in the press, many have expected a big influx of exciting signings this January. Especially as Unai started clearing house and talked about upgrading the squad. But, as is most often the case, useful January signings are usually elusive or very expensive. After all, no one really wants to lose good players mid-season unless they face letting them go for free in a few months’ time.

Argentina and Netherlands have booked their places in the quarters, as expected, and now we’ll see if France and England can do the same.
Gerrard: Should He Stay or Should He Go Now?
With Sawiris and Edens in town to watch, Villa battled against Chelsea, and on another day would’ve had a goal or two for their troubles.

But losing to Chelsea was never the marker by which Gerrard’s body of work is going to be judged.

Hard to believe a new season is upon us once again, but here it is. And I’m guessing no one quite knows what to make of Villa’s undefeated summer. I know I don’t. The modest incomings will make Villa better, but I still question the formation, Coutinho and Ings, and whether it plays to our weaknesses rather than strengths.
