Sunday Open Thread: February Kickoff Edition

Yes, Daniel Sturridge scored yesterday, and yes, Mamadou Sakho is the defensive dreamboat you've always wanted. Linger on that as long as you'd like. In the meantime, Arsenal host Aston Villa in the early Premier League kickoff (1:30PM GMT/8:30AM EST) while Southampton are visited by Swansea City later in the afternoon (4:00PM GMT/11:00AM EST). Iago Aspas could feature for Sevilla when they host Espanyol (6:00PM GMT/1:00PM EST), while Tiago Ilori might have a chance for Bordeaux earlier in the day when they host Guingamp (4:00PM GMT/11:00AM EST).
