People have started noticing us since Wednesday, but if we win this, things are going to go stratospheric and the harsh glare of publicity will be trained on us like never before.

Bring it on!

Soooo looking forward to this. 

I might come up for the Burnley match.  Thinking of becoming a member.  How much does being a member increase your chances of getting a home ticket?  Or is it still tricky?

As a claret member my experience is that I can get a ticket to any home league game. To be sure, just go online as soon as possible once the claret membership window opens for a game.

I bought tickets for members yesterday and there weren't many left. Get in quick. It opens for season tickets to buy more on Monday.

Yes, the tickets for the Burnley game are selling well. Bought mine this morning. Just to add, as a claret member the sooner you buy a ticket once they go on sale to claret members, the better of course are your chances of getting your favourite seat. Sorry if that sounds obvious, but it is one of the benefits of membership.

Tielemans and Bailey on the club match graphic. So.... McGinn, Luiz, Kamara, Tielemans, Bailey starting. No clues to back 4 though.

do they definitely start then if they are on the match graphic ? Does Villa Admin have a line into the Sultans office

I think most weeks the players on the graphic are in the starting 11. It's not 100% but it's been the case the last few weeks. We'll see.

Taking my little boy (6yo) to his first game for that Burnley one. He's really excited about it ... to the extent that half the kids in his class at school have been converted to the path of righteousness.

But yeah, recommend membership if you're buying tickets. It works out extortionate for us since we can only get to a handful of games a season, but it's worth it to get a bunch of seats together with me, my dad, one of the kids (have an ambiguously named child membership), and sitting in the same stand at my uncle, cousin & his family when they go

Questions for starting 11:
Cash or Konsa?
Digne or Moreno?
Diaby or Tielemans?

My selection:
Konsa
Digne
Diaby

I'd go Cash, Digne, Tielemans myself. Reckon we'll see Moreno start on Thursday.
That would be my choice as well.

I'll be surprised if Tielemens is dropped. Arsenal's midfield is far better than the makeshift Man City one we faced on Wednesday evening, and I think he's better at dropping a bit deeper to add numbers in there than Diaby.  If Diaby plays, it'll be at the expense of Bailey - which would be a bad call based on current form, but who knows how the players have recovered over the last two days?

Bailey looked bollocksed when he came off Wednesday. Time for Diaby to step up

The graphic was correct.
