Aston Villa v Man Utd team news: Pau + Digne among subs

11 February 2024 508 comments

avfc82

Aston Villa and Manchester United face off on Sunday in the penultimate match of Gameweek 24.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Unai Emery makes just one change to the side that lost 3-1 to Chelsea in midweek, with Jacob Ramsey coming in for Youri Tielemans.

It means Leon Bailey continues on the right, while Pau Torres and Lucas Digne are both named among the substitutes.

Erik ten Hag also make one alteration, having beaten West Ham United 3-0 in Gameweek 23.

The injured Lisandro Martinez drops out, so Raphael Varane slots in at the back.

GAMEWEEK 24 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Carlos, Lenglet, Moreno, Kamara, Luiz, Bailey, McGinn, Ramsey, Watkins

Subs: Olsen, Tielemans, Digne, Pau, Diaby, Zaniolo, Rogers, Kesler-Hayden, Iroegbunam

Manchester United XI: Onana, Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Shaw, Mainoo, Casemiro, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund

Subs: Bayindir, Lindelof, Amrabat, Eriksen, Diallo, Evans, Antony, McTominay, Forson

  There’s been a lot of talk about Utd being back on form and blunting Villa’s attack. We’re about to find out. However I thought the last match would be tight

Dubravka
Virgil, Saliba, Gabriel
Saka, Foden, Richarlison, Gross
Haaland, Watkins, Darwin

Areola; Palmer, Pedro Porro, Taylor.

Do I just go with this? Only 4 doublers and no Jota but I don't want to sell or bench any of my attackers.

  Yep IMO, looks good. Another Pool would mean another blanker 26. Another City could easily mean just 1 match or 1,5 matches in DGW.

    No Jota could be the only one to think about (especially if Salah seems unfit, less bench options).

    Yeah that's my current thinking. Already have 5 blankers in 26 plus Taylor so don't really want to add another.

Nice late afternoon light in the West Midlands/ Warwickshire.

I bet we still get a snow fall in late February or before mid March.

African Nations Cup Final at 7 ish then the Super Bowl kicks off at 11.30 pm.

Super Sunday...

  Watkins record v Man Utd is shocking. Can't score against the big clubs. I'm afraid you are getting 1pt at best....loves a yellow card after 85mins too.

  Moreno is interesting attacking wise but I have noticed that he is bit shaky sometimes and I think Digne vs Moreno is 50-50 in Emery's books.

    I'd say Moreno is slightly favoured because of last season, but it's a fair observation.

When your GW29 hopes are pinned on the shoulders of Bowen, Porro and Areola.

The only thing that would stop me FH-ing 29 now would be if Leeds beat Chelsea and Forest beat Man U in the cup.

    Non FH would be (all either in place or planned transfers)
    Areola/Leno
    Porro Doughty Pau
    Bowen Son Barkley
    Watkins Toney
    plus whatever hits I care to take
    
    I guess FH would be similar to yours and everyone elses.
    Might have a punt on McGinn.
    Pickings aren't exactly great for a FH advantage.
    Could do with Palmer & Garnacho having a fixture really.

Stupid game last week Foden bench 20pts this week Gabriel 12

Anyway got Ricarlison and Porro thinking Jota and Doughty -8 the problem is I will probably want them back for 29 unless I free hit

So free hit 29 or use 4 transfers on them or roll

Help needed???

  Same. All my league have pretty much the same team. The only difference is I don't have Foden and benched Gabriel. Cost of 32 points. 60 behind the leader in cash leagues so it's probably finished my season
