ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 4 January 2020
A second string Villa toil to defeat against an inspired Fulham side in the third round of the FA Cup.
Centre back James Chester makes his 126th and final appearance for Villa aged 30 before being released by the club in June 2020. Chester, who became a modern day Villa great following his £8,370,000 from West Bromwich Albion in August 2016, leaves with a record of W53 D38 L35, 12 Goals, 1 Assist, 13 Bookings and 1 Red Card.
Centre forward Jonathan Kodjia makes his 106th and final appearance for Villa aged 30 ahead of signing for Qatari Club Al Gharafa on 18th January 2020. Kodjia, a terrace favourite after a half decade of dross, leaves with a record of W43 D30 L33, 31 Goals, 9 Assists, 14 Bookings and 1 Red Card.
Winger Indiana Vassilev makes his Villa debut aged 18 having signed for the club from the IMG Academy in October 2017 to become the 941st player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Ørjan Nyland makes his 25th start for Villa (27 Appearances) to make it W10 D9 L8, 39 Goals Conceded and 7 Clean Sheets so far in his Villa career.

TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
Mass changes for the FA Cup - some enforced through injury, others through the blessed need of a rest.
18-year old American winger Indiana Vassilev was given his first squad appearance as midfielder Jacob Ramsey made the bench for the third cup game this season.
Björn Engels returned to the starting line up following illness whilst Captain James Chester came in for his second start of the season.
With Tyrone Mings, Douglas Luiz and Jack Grealish rested the side was very much a second string selection with the incentive for the likes of Henri Lansbury, Marvelous Nakamba, Anwar El Ghazi, Jota and Jonathan Kodjia to play themselves into first team contention.
Despite being recalled from his loan at Livingston following Tom Heaton’s injury there was no place on the bench for Matija Šarkić as Lovre Kalinić received his second call up as reserve goalkeeper this season.
