The starting line-ups have been announced at Villa Park ahead of Aston Villa v Brentford on Sunday afternoon.
First-team coach Aaron Danks is in charge of the hosts following the departure of head coach Steven Gerrard and he’s opted to make three changes from the team that lost 3-0 against Fulham in midweek.
Emi Buendía, Matty Cash and Leander Dendoncker come into the side in place of John McGinn, Jacob Ramsey and Jan Bednarek.
It’s a first start for Dendoncker, who lines up in midfield alongside Douglas Luiz after the Brazilian’s red card from Fulham was overturned.
Here are the teams in full…
Aston Villa: Martínez, Cash, Konsa, Young, Mings, Buendía, Douglas Luiz, Dendoncker, Watkins, Bailey, Ings
Subs: Bednarek, Nakamba, Philippe Coutinho, Ramsey, Archer, Chambers, Olsen, Sanson, McGinn
