Closed Aston Villa v Chelsea

[ZOS 580]

Why's everyone leaving Mata out?We struggle without Mata. Is he injured or something?

because they want Benayoun to start

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

My preferred lineup

Cech

Azpi Cahill Terry Cole

Mikel(if not fit then Ramires) Lampard

Moses Mata Hazard

Ba

Substitutions-

Ake - Mata so that Lampard can play more ahead.

Oscar - Hazard.

Mata has to start this. He may be a bit tired but Villa will be no pushovers and we must start our best players. United won by the one goal in fortunate circumstances, as did City while Arsenal drew 0-0 down there. They won't roll over 8-0 like we beat them at the Bridge, they are more solid at home. I see no reasons why Mata should not start. Very important fixture. Lets's try to get the win first, if we are cruising then sub off important players but right now we need our best team available as when Mata does not play there is a sufficient difference.

Hopefully Ba gets back on the scoresheet as well

rip it baby..give us another 8- niller!

I honestly think that Benitez will not start both of Mata and Hazard. He'll have an eye on the EL final.

I'm pretty sure he's already contemplating resting Hazard, especially now that he has doubts regarding his fitness. You can expect Lampard and Ba to start for sure. He's already hinted that Lampard won't play in the final, and Ba can't either. I just hope Mata starts the game as well.

[SiddharthChand 2]

My preferred setting now that Mikel, Hazard and Hazard are doubtfuls.

CECH

AZPI TERRY IVANOVIC COLE

LAMPS LUIZ

RAMIRES MATA OSCAR

BA

Yes, I also expect Moses and JT to start. Mainly something like:

Cech

Azpi-Cahil-JT-Cole

Ramires-Lamps

Osca-Mata-Moses

Ba

Which should be good enough to get the three points, imo.
