Aston
Villa v Arsenal
After
an extremely disappointing run of form, Villa have finally secured
2 home wins on the bounce. There are also signs that their new
signings are gelling quickly, a factor helped by their early
exits from the cup competitions giving them plenty of time on
the training ground. At home, Villa's record has not been that
impressive but they've only lost 3 games and conceded just 11
goals. The key is that they should be a lot fresher than an
Arsenal side who's season has just gone into meltdown over the
last 10 days; defeat to Chelsea in the Carling Cup final, knocked
out by Blackburn in the FA Cup and a European exit at the hands
of PSV. Not only have their results been awful but the Carling
Cup furore has left Adebayor, Toure and Eboue suspended. Additionally,
Henry is out for the rest of the season and attacking options
are limited with van Persie still injured. On the road Arsenal
have taken only 4 points from their last 3 games and if anyone's
to take advantage of the Gunner's sticky patch, the timing couldn't
be better for Villa. A scalp for O'Neill that would certainly
put a dent in Arsenal's ambitions of 3rd place.
The
FA Cup defeat at Ewood Park effectively summed up how City's
season has collapsed and now they're clinging to safety by the
skin of their teeth; especially if Charlton maintain their current
form. City fans vented their frustration during the Blackburn
loss and rumour has it that Pearce has only 2 games to save
his job. Only 20 goals in the Premiership this season highlights
the root of Pearce's problems; only Watford have scored less.
Fair enough that the strikers got a rollicking from the fans
but they've even turned on their better players; most noticeable
when Barton threw his shirt to them at the end of the game.
City have lost 5 of the last 6 at Eastlands and now face a Chelsea
side that will be buoyed by the return of John Terry. The draw
against Spurs said everything that needed to be said about their
pitiful defence and Terry is the man to bond the pieces back
together. After a blip on the road, Chelsea are on the back
of 2 successive victories and with their captain back, should
expose City's weaknesses, of which their are many.
