Suggested Team and Formation For: Aston Villa

Guiata
Ward - Dann - Cahill - van Aanholt
Milvojevic
Kouyate - Schlupp
Townsend —————— Zaha
Ayew

Hennessey, Kelly, McCarthy, McArthur, Meyer, Camarasa, Benteke

I think this is probably our best team right now. Full of directness. I know Townsend is in a bad run of form, but I think one more game, we know how hard he works and we know what he can do when he’s firing on all cylinders. Schlupp can move wide if Townsend is poor again and needs taking off.

The bench is full of options for winning or losing scenarios as well, Hodgson will have no excuse not to use them, like he did last year.

I think I saw someone saying that they think the whole squad is stronger this year than it was last year, I’d agree, I’d say the only place we are weaker is in the right back berth.
