A vital 3 points towards Premiership survival and maybe a nail in Villa's Coffin.
Or a victory and a place in the Semi - Final at wembley![]()
Don't forget It's IF you had to choose ONE
Cup, all the way.
Don't get me wrong; I don't want to lose to them in the league, and I'd even settle for a draw in that one if we couldn't win, just to keep them in the mix, but we absolutely have to get past them in the cup. Why? Because ultimately it's about us, not them. They could beat us in the league and still go down, and we wouldn't be any the worse off (presuming we get our own points elsewhere, which I reckon we will). But if they beat us in the cup, that's our best chance of a major trophy for at least the last seven years up in smoke. And I could tolerate heartbreak in the semi-final or final against a big team, because we'd at least have given it our best shot and been outclassed, but not in a quarter-final at Villa Park. This will go down as a missed opportunity if we blow it.
No pressure or anything, but I want us in that draw come the second week of March.
