Worried tiredness is starting to take it's toll on us.

Would go:

Lloris

Trippier Toby Wimmer Davies

Bentaleb Mason

Son Caroll Eriksen

Chadli
However I expect today's team, with rotated full backs and Mason in for Dembele and maybe Son in for Lamela.

We have to sack this off now - go all out for the prem.

Beating Dortmund would give us a huge boost to the season. Clearly you're not one of the fans spending good money to go and watch the match otherwise you wouldn't be so keen to just 'sack it off'

Need Dortmund to beat Bayern tonight, would put them 2 points behind them and perhaps make them more likely to rotate in EL

Personally I've got no enthusiasm for this game now - it's going to affect what otherwise would be a routine victory against Villa. The Europa is a nightmare you can't get out of, just being in it makes it more likely you'll be in it again next year. And the nightmare scenario of that is beginning to become a bit more real.

Borussia Dortmund drew 0-0 with Bayern Munich earlier leaving Dortmund in 2nd place 5 points behind Bayern in 1st place but 16 points clear of 3rd.

Think we will face a strong team, but don't think we can do much about that, we have to rotate.

Need to rest the likes of Kane, Dier, Dembele (not a 2 games a week man) and probably Lamela (despite a rest of almost half a game), and it makes sense to rotate fullbacks.

Lloris
Trippier Alderweireld Wimmer Davies
Bentaleb Mason
Onomah Caroll Son
Chadli
Would like to see Clinton on the bench for a 15 minute run out after injury, but that may be optimistic.

Is Njie fit yet, think we're seriously missing some pace at the front end of the pitch. We're completely lacking anybody willing to run in behind the opposition defence

Dier's on a ban now so he might as well play. Hate the thought train of chucking it in after the effort of the players and the money spent by supporters to go and support. These are the games players want to be part of.

maybe hold on for a draw in the first leg and then really go at them in the second leg? then this for the villa game:

lloris
walker toby wimmer davies
dier dembele
onomah eriksen alli
kane​

resting some players is such a challenge, not too sure what to do. only left rose out due to injury today is unknown duration. but I do not agree with a "bail out of EUROPA" to only challenge for the Prem title strategy. there has to be some rest, so just juggling the line up around above...

edit: is it true dier is suspended for the villa match?
