Trezeguet and Anwar El Ghazi were also named among the substitutes after starting Wednesday’s 1-1 draw at Newcastle United.

Villa: Nyland, Konsa, Mings, Hause, Targett, Nakamba, Luiz, Hourihane, Grealish (c), Davis, Samatta.

Subs: Reina, Taylor, Elmohamady, McGinn, Drinkwater, Trezeguet, El Ghazi, Jota, Vassilev.
