Team for Villa

[Sevens]

Start with the same team that lined up against Bournemouth. I am a great believer in that you don't change a winning team, especially if the winning team did it with ease!

Personally I'd want Dembele against the gooners. His ball retention is second to none and they'll try and press us, plus he tends to play better against better opposition. Therefore play him on Monday and rest him on Thursday if we need to rotate.

I was thinking Dier and Mason in for the gooner game, so we just have a different way to approach it... and given the pace that anderlecht play at, nothing says that Dembele couldn't play 60+ minutes vs andrlecht and then play vs the gooners... I would still want Dier and Mason as CM pairing, but maybe start Dembele higher up the pitch with Eriksen and Alli? just looking at options...

Lloris

Walker Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose

Lamela Mason Alli

Eriksen Chadli

Kane


As we're getting nearer chrimbo and I'm feeling festive thought would go with Christmas tree formation

but Chadli is still injured and I don't know why you left Dier out, so here's your updated "tree":

lloris
walker toby jan rose
dier mason alli
lamela eriksen
kane​

how's that?
