I think Lennon needs the support of his right back and against Young Corluka would have to be quick to cover a lot of ground - that is the main reason why I've gone with Zokora.

Zokora's man marking abilities are exceptional.

I go with Zokora at RB and Bent up front. Really want to say Pav up front. Really really want to say JD. Bent deserves a run of games to see if he engages his brain and Pav seems knackered.

Jenas and Palacios in the middle holding firm,Keane and Bent up front running and working hard,Modric and Lennon on the wings supplying the chances,Gomes in goal concentrating,Woodgate and King steadying the ship and finally BAE(LB) and ZOKORA(RB)protecting and supporting our flanks.
Thats the team needed for Sunday!

Because Modric will drift inside, Bale will sat wider and i feel he will defend more than Modric will.

I think Modric is a fantastic player, and its nothing against him just the team i feel that could get a result out of Villa. Frustrate them up front and bring on Modric in the second half to find the gaps.

Kendall, just seen you signature you are going to have to stop collecting stupid comments it will get unmanageable.

Zokora's man marking abilities are exceptionally bad. He gives the wide men far too much room and relies on his pace to compensate. He will be exposed against a winger with real pace.

I rate Corluka very highly but against pace its a different ball game. I was at the game for his debut against Villa and Young absolutely dominated

We need Zokora for this game and bent instead of Pav

The rest pick itself
