Christian Benteke
The powerful Belgium striker has been in fine form since Tim Sherwood’s appointment as manager and has spearheaded Villa’s revival towards the end of the season. Benteke’s nine goals in the last two months have guaranteed Villa’s safety and also secured their place in the final, and Arsenal will need to deal with his power up front.
