But even though Aston Villa’s top-flight place is safe and already-relegated Burnley are heading to Villa Park, he has vowed not to rest players. This from the Guardian preview. Only quote I saw waa that it was gonna be a full house and they wanted to win the game for the fans.

Going for a 4 point hit this week, too many attackers with doubts/tough fixtures/generally crap (sterling,sanchez,hazard,ozil,defoe). Defoe out for benteke will be one transfer. Sterling out for either puncheon, siggy or mirallas...thoughts? Really want mirallas but he's far from guaranteed a start.

There will be players who go and score 15 pointers but it could literally be any attacking player chances are it will be one you don't sign.

With their league season over and cup final ahead don't expect much from Arsenal anyhow.Playing both Sanchez and Ramsey isnt attractive. But who to sell/bench!?Hazard could play 60 and get a double digit score, or play the last 5 to get a 38th appearance and one point. Leicester v QPR is my tip for a goal fest, no Green or Caulker for QPR, Zamora a doubt too. Ramsey saying young players will be involved. I don't think I'll get Ulloa but I certainly want to play Albrighton.Bolasie has played well last couple, and looking for a move, could even be up front, good stats, unlucky not to have had a couple of goals recently. And that's just my midfield! Silva, Yaya, Mirallas all tempting for one of my FTs but even if I could decide which of that 5 to sell, who the hell do I then bench!! Any ideas!?? Up Lukaku is the favourite, Costa a temptation. Ulloa a tasty option too. I can afford more or less any combination esp if I sell Haz. Kane is 100% gone. Mirallas and Costa. Silva/Yaya and Lukaku. Maybe leave midfield alone and upgrade a defender. Head explosion imminent!!!

Or get a mid for Hazard and keep and bench Kane and play 5 in midfield? I may be wrong but I'm not tempted by Costa at all. His last game he was more interested in kicking the defenders than the ball. Upfront Pérez has something to play for and has scored in his last 2 home games. But I never saw him play. I don't even know what he looks like. I'm just tempted because he has something at stake... Now chosing between the Arsenal mids is a nightmare. Ramsey blanking for the DGW makes my move for him a very bad one now...If Wenger criteria is physical form they should both be the ones to be benched. Ramsey because he had minor knocks lately and Sanchez because he played a lot and we learned recently that he even played through pain. But I certainly don't want that... Looking at your squad and with all the recent news we had, I'd say the safest move could well be Hazard -> Silva and bench Kane. But you may not want to play safe . As for me, Myhill/Mig // Terry Bellerin Schlupp at the back Silva Sanchez Ramsey Hazard Cambiasso Aguero Benteke Kane 1. Hazard -> Yaya. Bench Kane 2. Kane -> Pérez. Bench Hazard. 3. Hazard -> Young/Puncheon (why did he only play 45 min home to United?)/Adam (someone mentioned him and I see he's on good form and home to his former club) & Kane -> any forward bar RVP (the only one I can't afford) 4. something else... like keeping Hazard and selling one of my Arsenal mid or Cambiasso...
