Villa vs Bradford in the second leg of the Englsih League cup semi-final tonight. Is this his last chance to keep his job down there?
Currently 3-1 down from the first leg and I can't imagine Bradford will be going there fearing anything haveing turned them over already. With a defence as dodgy as Villa's, I reckon Bradford will score which means Villa will need 4 to go through - big ask.
They had the best draw of the teams possible so if they don't make the final, it'll hurt the fans big time and it might be one poor result too far.
Strange system they have for if the game is level after the second leg down there. If Villa win 2-0 tonight that makes it 3-3 on agg and the game goes to extra-time. However, if stayed 2-0 (3-3) come the end of the extra-time, Villa go through on away goals.
So effectively, away goals don't count until the end of extra-time. Strange. Does mean that the only way we can see penalties are if Villa win 3-1.
No idea how this one will go. Even at the weekend, Villa got themselves 2-0 up against WBA but caved in and had to settle for a 2-2 draw. I'd hedge my bets on Villa winning tonight but not by enough to go through.
