Should be pretty straight forward, 3 or 4 nil to us.

Apparently Kolo Muani has trained for two weeks and is 'in contention'. Finally.

Sounds like he turned up ‘unfit’ In the transfer window and needed to get upto a decent level of fitness.

That was my feeling as well but we were sold a “dead leg” to be going along with.

"Dead Leg" sounds like a Grandpa Simpson ailment to me.

kid at my school used to give people horrible dead legs in the morning, still playing football at lunch break.

A dead leg (also called a charley horse or thigh contusion) is a bruise to the muscle, most often in the front of the thigh (the quadriceps). It happens when a player takes a direct blow — for example, a knee or boot to the thigh — during a tackle or collision.
Here’s what happens:

• The impact crushes the muscle against the thigh bone (femur).
• Small blood vessels inside the muscle tear, causing bleeding and swelling.
• The muscle becomes painful, tight, and hard to move — it can feel numb or “dead,” which is where the name dead leg comes from.

Symptoms​

• Immediate pain at the site of impact
• A heavy, stiff feeling in the leg
• Swelling or bruising that may appear later
• Difficulty bending or straightening the knee
• Limping or being unable to run

Recovery​

• Mild dead legs might recover in a few days with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (the RICE method).
• Moderate to severe ones can take one to three weeks or more, depending on the damage.
• In bad cases, if bleeding inside the muscle isn’t managed properly, it can lead to myositis ossificans — where bone tissue starts forming inside the muscle.

Chris Sutton - BBC

After a slow start to the season, Aston Villa are on a good run of results with four straight wins now.

I am still not convinced by their performances, though, and this will be a good test of where Unai Emery's side are really at and whether they have actually turned a corner or not.

I don't watch Tottenham and feel like they will score a barrel-load of goals, but they have got a good balance to their team and I am backing them to find a way to win this.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Cuti out
Danso to start

 

[J.spurs]

Had to Google it: The Byfield kid who's made the bench is a CB. Wonder what the story is on the guy we signed from Japan over the summer?
