Be very surprised if without injury it isn't this:

Pickford, Pope, D. Henderson

Gomez, Stones, Maguire, (4th CB)
TAA, AWB/Recce James
Chilwell, Saka

J Henderson, Rice, Foden, Grealish, Oxlade Chamberlain, Alli

Sancho, Greenwood, Sterling

Rashford, Kane,

Then between: Maddison/Barkley/Abraham/Ings for the final spot, depending on form.
 
I think Souness is very close to nailing the issue about Grealish. Very overrated in my opinion

He's not really though is he? He couldn't be much further off. Eden Hazard was the most fouled player in the league for years. Did he take too long to make decisions?

Players that carry the ball at pace and commit defenders will be fouled more because they're good at football generally. Considering Grealish is the sole player that does this for Villa, it's gonna happen even more so than usual because he's their best player.

According to that article he's won the 7th most duels in the league and created the 2nd most chances in the league. If all he does is stand with his hands on hips off the ball and takes too long to make decisions on the ball, how is that possible?

Comparing Grealish with Hazard is a bit off the target. This season Grealish is ranked 10 in take ons completed Dribbles Premier League 2019/20 season: Most take ons completed
He is ranked 10 in dribbles attempted.
Last season Hazard ranked 2 in dribbles
If you look at total touches last season, Hazard ranked 17
For this season Grealish is currently ranked 36.
Hazard won 104 fouls last season.
In February, Grealish had won 111.
Grealish must be doing something since he is fouled that much
 
We really need a centre back and centre midfielder to come through next season. Ross Barkley has stepped up for Chelsea. Hopefully he keeps improving.
 
I watched Juventus v Roma last night a Chris Smalling was superb.

Southgate has to get him in the starting line up. Juventus look like they are going to sign him for next season. He’s really improved this season.
