Read Aston Villa spoke to the Editor of The FL 72, Adam Allcroft ahead of the Villans big clash with Birmingham City.
1. DESCRIBE THE RIVALRY. 30 SECONDS.
The rivalry is intense, one of the best in the country. It’s flared up usually because Aston Villa is usually doing better than Birmingham, and they both want to get one other on each other
2. BEST PLAYER IN THE BLUES SQUAD? 15 SECONDS.
Demarai Gray. On his day, he can tear apart anyone and that includes Premier League defences. Villa should beware
3. WHO DO YOU HATE IN THE VILLA SQUAD? 15 SECONDS.
No one, can’t hate anything that isn’t a threat.
4. UNSUNG HERO IN THE BLUES SQUAD? 20 SECONDS.
Jonathan Grounds. Been a great defender since signing, usually forgotten about until he scores, like he did at the weekend
5. League or Cup? 5 seconds
League, Birmingham need to be back in the Premier League. Simple.
6. WHERE WILL THE GAME BE WON AND LOST? 30 SECONDS.
It’ll be lost when someone goes overboard. You need to utilise passion in the right way and when it goes to someone’s head, they go into a challenge too rash and get sent off. Whoever controls themselves wins.
7. PREDICTION? 5 SECONDS.
Honestly, I can’t predict it. If you had to put a gun to my head, 3-2 to Villa after extra time
