Villa fans everywhere bracing themselves.

David Moyes has moved as short as 2/1 to replace Tim Sherwood at Aston Villa and events on Saturday afternoon would only encourage those odds to shorten.

Real Sociedad lost 2-0 at home to Atletico Madrid and, whilst Antoine Griezmann was up to all sorts of filthy tricks for the capital city outfit, things grew out of control for the hosts.

Moyes’ outfit were issued with a whopping eight cards throughout – six of which came in an ill-tempered last couple of minutes – as Sociedad finished with nine men.

And the video footage didn’t look much better than the stats did as Moyes’ men reacted rather petulantly to a decision at one end that ended up in a goal at the other.

The Basque outfit sit 16th in the league, joint with Levante in the relegation zone, and David Moyes – who was let go from the United job almost 18 months ago – is now feeling the pressure at the Estadio Anoeta.
