Just saw a stat that no villa manager has ever won their first three games. That can't be right surely?
Also on a stats front...
"Manchester City have won their last 15 Premier League games played on a Wednesday, scoring 36 goals and conceding just six."
Well....shit.
Perhaps we can hope that as a second string they may not quite be match sharp, despite their undoubted talent?
Think we need to be right at them and be aggressive from the off. Let's test their resolve.
Just heard that in the last 5 minutes Mike Dean has sent Ollie off for a handball in today's training session. He was carrying the ball out of the changing room at Bodymoor. VAR upheld the decision, despite not being switched on and being 8 miles away at Villa Park.
