Throwing it out there (without having seen all of the earlier posts..).. with the way Villa played today, as well as last week, Emery could be an underdog to go if results and performances don't pick up quickly?
You would hope that given that it's the first PL game at the new ground they wouldn't want to end up in history for losing the first competitive game there!
I guess it's the hope that gets you in the end anyway..
