Stadium: Villa Park
Date: Friday 14th August 2015
Kick-off: 19:45pm BST
EDL are coming to Birmingham on Saturday apparently...Friday night means we have extra time to prepare for the Champo League qualifier, which is good.
Is that why we have Friday fixtures now? To help teams playing on a Tuesday or is it purely for TV reasons?
Come again?EDL are coming to Birmingham on Saturday apparently...
This game has specifically been moved due to far-right idiots demonstrating in Birmingham on Saturday. It's not a TV decision, but rather based on Police advice.I'm so tired of these wayward kickoffs. Can we just have a 3pm Saturday please. We never seem to play well when we kick off early on Sat or Sun...but Friday....bloody hell.
Jones is injured.Jones/Rojo for Blind. Blind won't be able to handle Gestede.
because of the CL play-oof match Tuesday.Friday? Wtf
Oh, fair enough then... thanks!because of the CL play-oof match Tuesday.

It's to do with a protest march on the Saturday in Birmingham, the police requested that the fixture be switched to avoid clashes and potential trouble.Oh, fair enough then... thanks!
It isn't a thing until next year, this is a one off deal this season due to protest march on the Saturday.Didn't even know about these Friday kick offs
I've picked the same team with the same subs. See if it works away from home.I'm on call on Saturday next week so this is good for me
Same back four
If I had a choice the front six would be :
Schneiderlin - Carrick - Herrera
Memphis - Rooney - Mata
I expect LvG won't make any changes though.
Another win, no matter how ugly, would be great.
cheers for the info.It's to do with a protest march on the Saturday in Birmingham, the police requested that the fixture be switched to avoid clashes and potential trouble.
Ah thanks. I was getting confused with next season's Friday night matches.
Be interesting how he juggles the squad with the CL qualifer.-------------------------Romero-----------------------
Darmian--------Smalling---------Blind----------Shaw
-------------Schweinstegier------Schneiderlin--------
----------------------------Mata-------------------------
Pedro--------------------Rooney--------------Memphis
Sorry Herrera would love to put you in there too, but just can't.
If Pedro isn't here it'll be the same as today
Friday game so he has to start the Villa game with the as good ad we've got, especially as the first CL leg is at home.Be interesting how he juggles the squad with the CL qualifer.
I too. I would love to have Friday, 3 Satruday, 2 Sunday and 1 Monday game every weekFriday night kickoff, definitely looking forward to this one.
