Next, West Brom host Villa in a West Midlands Derby . It's a sign of the times that the Baggies are overwhelming favorites where a win puts the Baggies in an unlikely third place position ahead of Manchester United. Villa need a win too as they are one point above the drop zone.

COME ON YOU VILLAINS!

Villa win a corner after a spell of possession. A long ball from Vlaar is put out for a corner by McAuley. The corner from Albrighton is too high for everyone.

The long free kick is headed away and cleared.

11:24 AM

A long range effort from Brett Holman is tipped over by Ben Foster.Villa maintain possession off the corner until a cross goes straight to Foster. That effort from Holman was the closest any team had come to scoring.

A poor pass from Brunt after a great baggies possession.

11:27 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Curled high and wide from Beneteke after a great pass from Agbon and a great Villa possession.

11:29 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Useless by Agbon to ruin a great Villa possession. Not any better from the Baggies as Chris Brunt finds a lucky spectator in Row W with a long range effort.

11:30 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A long ball from James Morrison and Shane Long is offside.

11:33 AM

Beneteke should have put villa ahead as he tackled Gareth McAuley on the left and dribbled in , but shot over with just Foster to beat.

A stuoid foul by Cieran Clark off a goal kick from Ben Foster

11:47 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The free kick is headed away and it halftime and 0-0 from Villa Park. Not many chances. but Villa were the slightly better team. Brett Holman had two shots saved from Guzan while Shane Long missed a sitter in the fifth minute. The Baggies have scored six of their seven goals in the second half.

11:49 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Billy Jones went down the tunnel, injured, just before halftime, so that is two enforced changes for Steve Clarke. Gabriel Tamas , the Romanian international, will come on for Jones at the beginning of the second half.

11:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The second half is underway as Tamas is on for Jones.

COME ON YOU VILLAINS!

If West Brom were to win by four or more goals then the Baggies would move ahead of Everton on goal difference into second place . Someone would want a Villa win too.

12:05 PM

Gera heads well wide from an early corner.

12:06 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

PHEW!!!I thought Shane Long had headed West Brom into the lead off a cross from Mulumbu, but he was barely offside.

12:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BUGGER!!!
SHANE LONG HAS JUST GIVEN THE BAGGIES THE LEAD. iT STARTED FROM THE WEST BROM BOX AS JIM MORRISON WAS PUT THROUGH DOWN THE RIGHT AND HIS CROSS WAS CLEARED BY VLAAR AND COMICALLY WENT INTO THE BACK OF THE NET OFF OF LONG.
