TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
Captain Jack Grealish is once again ruled out through injury - his 9th consecutive absence and longest run out of the side since February 2019 (14 games). Grealish is joined by new casualty Trézéguet following surgery on a ligament injury that will keep him out of contention until the 2021-22 season. Morgan Sanson misses out once again (knee) as does long term absentee Wesley.
Marvelous Nakamba starts consecutive league games whilst Jacob Ramsey comes in for Trézéguet, Carney Chukwuemeka makes a return to the bench - the 17 year-old's second squad appearance of his Villa career.
