Oppos Viewpoint – Aston Villa

A bit about you:

Name: Andy Collins

Current home town: Leicester

Birthplace: Leicester

How long have you supported your team? 40 years

Overview of your club:

Favourite thing about your home ground: The Holte End, such an impressive stand

Favourite match played by your team & why: Beating Bayern Munich 1-0 to win the 1982 European Cup – Villa Champions of Europe

Favourite player of all time who played for your club: Brian Little. His attacking displays were the reason I became a Villa fan

About our forthcoming match against you:

Your favourite current player in your squad and why? Brad Guzan – as the keeper is usually our busiest player, he tends to stand out

Player in your squad we should most fear and why? Scott Sinclair – 5 goals in the last 2 games

Player in our squad you most fear and why? Jamie Vardy – works hard and never gives up

Up and coming prospect in your squad? Adama Traore signed from Barcelona (who insisted on a buy back clause). He is quick

How do you think you’ll do against us? City are unbeaten and at home, so 2-1 to them. If we have a good day, could sneak a draw

General Questions:

What do you think of the summer transfer activity so far both in and out of your club? We’ve lost a whole team (including the spine of Vlaar, Delph & Benteke) and signed a new team (mostly young foreign players, new to the Premier League). Sherwood has signed some potential, but it is a question of whether the new players can gel and are good enough for the Premier League

Where do you think you’ll finish this season? Hoping for mid-table safety, but fear it will be another relegation battle

Which three teams do you think will go down? Watford, Bournemouth & Sunderland

Who do you think will win the league? Manchester City
