Villa's top trio of Gareth Barry, Gabby Agbonlahor and Ashley Young are lighting up the Barclays Premier League - and that's official.

The trio find themselves in the Actim Index Top 10 - Gabby is number three, Ashley is a place behind at number four, with Gareth in ninth place.

But that's not all. Brad Friedel is currently second in the Top 10 Goalkeepers - only behind Liverpool's Pepe Reina - while Martin Laursen is sixth in the Top 10 Defenders.

Young is second best in the midfield category, with Barry in fourth.

And speed demon Agbonlahor is second to Nicolas Anelka in the striking stakes.

Barry, Young and Agbonlahor all feature in the Team of the Season so far.

Team: Reina (Liverpool), Bosingwa (Chelsea), Turner (Hull), Terry (Chelsea), Carragher (Liverpool), Lampard (Chelsea), Ireland (Man City), Barry (Villa), Young (Villa), Anelka (Chelsea), Agbonlahor (Villa).
