[nebbers]

Big covid outbreak at Villa. Surely game has got to be called off..?

Our U21s v their U19s

[Mark79]

I think Villa’s academy teams are based at the same training ground as the first team, so I’d imagine an outbreak there rules them out too.

Southampton tie against Shrewsbury has been postponed due to COVID so more than likely ours will as well

[Shaggy]

Just give us a bye ffs

[ntto]

precedent has been set that we get win

[S-RED]

precedent has been set in previous rounds, but in this instance the FA will bend the rules & allow a postponement & make us play the game 24hrs before an important league game or champions league tie

Fixed it for you.......

FFS, what's it even got to do with West Ham!

Rule 11. Varies based on Qualifying rounds and [stage of] competition proper.

Or them, not too bothered which.

[Fredo]

It’s going to be called off for sure.

[Red Wino]

Villa are planning to use their U23 team apparently. They train separately from the first team.

[BobTheCharmer]

Excellent, important we go and get back to winning ways before the utd game. A few goals will get the confidence up. Worst case, our lot catch it and then the utd game is postponed until we're in better shape.
