Dele Alli should be dropped from the side after a horrific outing against Zagreb. That leaves Lucas Moura to fill the No. 10 role. He has the speed and directness to trouble Villa’s defence. The Brazilian also deserves to start in Dele’s stead. The Englishman was way off the pace on Thursday, and should be rewarded with a seat on the bench.
Erik Lamela is unavailable after being sent off against the Gunners.
