Former Aston Villa manager Ron Saunders has died at the age of 87, the club has announced. Saunders guided Villa to the top flight in 1974 with promotion in his first season in charge. He also won two League Cups during his eight years at Villa Park. "Ron Saunders died at 15:00 GMT on Saturday and his family have asked for their privacy to be respected at such a difficult time," a club statement said. Saunders ended his managerial career at West Bromwich Albion, retiring in 1987. Villa players will wear black armbands and hold a period of applause when they host Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday. RIP

Ratings in the paper suggest Mings had another poor game. Personally I'd be tempted to try Konsa & Engels together.
-
Bitterly disappointed, story of my life as a Villa fan.
-
Would assume el ghazi is a doubt after going off at man u. Regarding the game would be delighted with a draw.
-
Agreed, last time we did this we gave Paul Lambert a big bumper contract and we know how that turned out. We are two results away from being in trouble or likewise pushing for the top six. Personally would have waited to see how the season panned out before handing out a four year deal.
-
Very good point, never doubted we could get a result.
-
Man Utd are a poor team compared to the one I grew up watching (Fergie's 90's). However Villa generally roll over for the big boys, therefore I expect the same again today. Man U to win 2/3-0. Will be delighted to be proved wrong and would view a point as a very good result. Fingers crossed.
-
Massive 3 points when you look at our next 3 games.
-
As already stated, but after today's results we need the 3 points.
-
Typifies the arrogance of Man Utd, why would he want to sign for them?, utter shambles and currently living off past glories with nothing in the present to point to future success. I would expect clubs like Liverpool to be interested if he continues with his present form, rather than a rudderless team like Man Utd. Unfortunately history suggests if a big club comes calling he will go, sadly.

Anyone see the 95th minute penalty decision that gifted Liverpool a win yesterday ? It was such a blatant dive it needed score cards not VAR ! Agreed, from a completely neutral point of view my immediate thought was dive, no way a penalty. BS stoppage time penalty at Anfield, some things never change.

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be working. I reference the McGinn goal versus Burnley, I was celebrating a goal left the room came back about four minutes later to then hear it had been disallowed. I am now hesitant to celebrate because i'm waiting to double check everything is okay and it counts. Which for an entertainment business is ridiculous, much like the standard of referring in the so called 'best league in the world'.

'Match of the day', bring it on. 👏
-
Six games in and already at the must win game stage. Didn't quite envisage this at the start of the season.
-
I just find it all very frustrating, there's a fourth official and VAR yet no one picks up these incidents. This is adding to the psychological pressure that is building on the Villa players, already the Burnley game is a must win.
