Where to look this weekend for FA Cup giant killings

In the hat for the draw, which took place on Monday night, following their 1-1 draw against the League Two outfit on Saturday, Villa were awarded with nearly the toughest of prospects, a home tie against the Premier League champions. Some want to play for me because I know them.

“I’ve never used that in my teams, and that’s it. But I’m very open-minded and if the solution could be from there, then I could do that”.

“Aston Villa is in a hard situation and I think everybody has to keep calm, face responsibility and look in the mirror to see if we can do more to get out of this hard situation”.

As well as chants of “You’re not fit to wear the shirt” towards the players, Villa’s fans also turned on the manager, Rémi Garde, who has now been in charge for 10 games without a victory.

“Like every player under contract in this football club, like Charles N’Zogbia too, they have to be prepared to play”, said Garde.

Garde said: “Some players won’t be involved any more and they need to leave”.

Villa host Crystal Palace on Tuesday and Garde conceded, despite their summer spending, he will need to overhaul the struggling squad again.

“I had a conversation with Arsene a few days ago about some of the players and Mathieu Debuchy was among these players”, said Garde, who played under Wenger at Arsenal.

“It’s great and just fantastic for the Villa fans to clap us off, because they are in a bit of disarray at the moment”, said Ainsworth.

The Wycombe boss hopes the impending replay at Villa Park graces the television screens – admitting the cash bonanza would ease the club’s debt.

Manchester City’s world class stars await the winners of next week’s FA Cup third round replay between Aston Villa and Wycombe Wanderers at Villa Park.

“I try to respect everybody as a person because I’m like that but sometimes you have to make a decision that makes people not happy”. We have been there at the bottom of the league but fortunately managed to get ourselves out of it, so we know what that pressure is like.

In response to further questioning about whether Agbonlahor would be considered for selection once fit, Garde spoke about the standards he demands from his players.

“You could see them getting agitated and I thought it could work in our favour”.
