Pre-Aston Villa Overnight Open Thread

1) Is there any reason to change the Javier Manquillo - Dejan Lovren - Mamadou Sakho - Alberto Moreno back line?

2) Who joins Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson in midfield: Lucas Leiva or Philippe Coutinho?

3) What is Adam Lallana's role?

4) Will Mario Balotelli play as a lone striker, or does Brendan Rodgers have something else up his sleeve?

5) Who makes an appearance from the bench?

Bonus: Aston Villa's motto is "PREPARED." If you had to come up with one word mottos for each of the other Premier League teams, what would they be?
