Aston Villa team news

Aston Villa are light on options in central midfield and at centre-back this weekend. Amadou Onana sustained a hamstring issue against Arsenal last week and looks unlikely to feature. The Belgian joins John McGinn and Ross Barkley on the sidelines.

Pau Torres remains out, while Diego Carlos’s move to Fenerbahce reduces the defensive stocks further. Tyrone Mings is expected to continue in partnership with Ezri Konsa.

Donyell Malen could be handed his debut after arriving from Borussia Dortmund, while 21-year-old full-back Andres Garcia could make the squad after signing from Levante this week.
