Dean Smith named an unchanged Aston Villa starting line-up for their Premier League clash at Southampton (ko 8pm).

The Villa head coach kept faith with the same XI who started the midweek defeat at Turf Moor.

New signing Morgan Sanson was named among the substitutes at St Mary’s following his arrival from Marseille earlier this week, Jacob Ramsey making way.



Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett, Luiz, McGinn, Traore, Barkley, Grealish, Watkins.

Subs: Heaton, Taylor, Engels, Elmohamady, Nakamba, Sanson, El Ghazi, Trezeguet, Davis.
