9) The Aston Villa Defence
Paul Lambert’s side were punching way above their weight earlier in the season, thanks in large part to their superb rearguard action and excellent counter attacking style.
They have lost all three of their last three games, although that’s hardly surprising when you consider they were up against Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City.
Alan Hutton and Philippe Senderos have been the shock revelations for the Villains this season, and heading into some easier fixtures Lambert will be hoping to restore that defensive stability.
