Jim on what the Spurs line-up tells us about subsequent week’s last:
The entrance line for Spurs at the moment is attention-grabbing. I feel Tel could also be enjoying because the striker with Son as a quantity 10. With Kulusevski out it’s not clear who will fill in for Madison on Wednesday, and any of Tel, Son, or Odobert could possibly be auditioning for that position this night.
Jeremy with some Rashford evaluation:
Rashford won’t be enjoying any half in Villa’s final two video games this season, identical to final season at VeryOld Trafford, however he stays a relentless supply of fascination for followers and neutrals, an enigma wrapped in clouds of doubt and uncertainty. If solely he may ship on the pitch as he has on the social degree, let’s not neglect, he shamed a authorities and have become an in a single day people-person. All of us consider him as a 22-year-old with chin fuzz and nice perspective, he’s almost 28 and must be within the prime of his life, however right here he’s, struggling for identification, type and a membership. All of us need him to be good/the brand new Harry Kane for England, however time might run out on the lad earlier than he will get to grasp his potential. No matter, 3-0 Villa, regardless of their protests in regards to the sport introduced ahead …
And Antony hears one thing within the distance:
UTV. Hear that Yara? Pay attention fastidiously …. Squeaky bum time. In a season of huge video games for us that is yet one more. Benefit from the match.
