TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
Of Villa's three summer signings only Moussa Diaby makes the starting XI with Youri Tielemens and Pau Torres on the bench. Meanwhile Leon Bailey is handed a surprise start and Philippe Coutinho a squad place - both players who many had expected not to be around in 2023-24. Cameron Archer and Jaden Philogene-Bidace make a welcome return to the squad after their loan and pre-season successes whilst Omari Kellyman, 17, features in the 20 for the first time.
