After the World Cup break Villa are without World Cup winner and Golden Glove holder Emiliano Martínez as he is still partying in Argentina. Robin Olsen makes another appearance despite having conceded 11 goals in his first 2.5 appearances for Villa.
Jacob Ramsey is injured as Philippe Coutinho makes an unlikely return as under-18 forward Kadan Young makes his first appearance in the Villa squad with Filip Marschall called up for the first time this season.
