Dean Smith made two changes to Aston Villa’s starting line-up for their clash against Leeds United at Elland Road (ko 5.30pm).

Midfielders Jacob Ramsey and Marvelous Nakamba were named in Villa’s XI for the Premier League encounter in West Yorkshire.

Ross Barkley and Douglas Luiz were the two to make way, named among the substitutes, following the club’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester City.

Bjorn Engels returned to the bench alongside teenager Kaine Kesler, who retained his place in Villa’s matchday 20 having been an unused substitute last weekend.



Villa: Martinez, Elmohamady, Konsa, Mings, Targett, J Ramsey, Nakamba, McGinn, Traore, Watkins, El Ghazi.

Subs: Heaton, Taylor, Kesler, Engels, Luiz, Sanson, Barkley, Trezeguet, Davis.
