Pires or not Pires. That'll be the question this lunchtime for the Big Game. The ex-gunner could well dictate the play for Villa. He scored 20 points in 21 minutes against Blackburn so should rack up a big score if he can maintain that pace for an hour or more.
Otherwise, with Warnock, Luke Young & Downing their top 3, picking down the flanks seems the way to go for Villa. Richard Dunne had a stand out game against Blackburn with a 75 but may not get the same aerial workout against Arsenal. Friedel scored a strong 58 in that last match but then only 10 against Man Utd. in the previous Picklive match so would be a very risky pick.
How many Villa players to pick is the trickiest decision today I feel. They had 4 of the top 5 against Blackburn but I can't see them having enough of the ball to get that same result. No more than 2 would seem a balanced approach considering what a good Picklive side Arsenal are.
Nasri is a must pick, having racked up some huge scores recently, Wilshire starts and usually posts a good score. Narrowing the rest down to fill the other spots is difficult - Sagna, Clichy and Song are all reliable choices. Arshavin and Rosicky are capable of big scores.
Tips: Pires, Nasri and Wilshire. At least 3, probably 4 from Arsenal in total.
