Unai Emery boasts an unchanged Aston Villa squad for Sunday’s trip to Manchester United.
Villa travel to Old Trafford aiming to complete a Premier League double over United following the club’s 3-1 success in Emery’s first game in charge in November.
The Villans go into the clash on the back of a 10-match unbeaten run, and head coach Emery will have the same squad at his disposal as he did for Tuesday’s 1-0 triumph over Fulham.
But absentees Matty Cash, Philippe Coutinho, Leon Bailey and Boubacar Kamara are all edging closer to their respective returns.

“I think it’s not going to change," said Emery at Friday's pre-match media conference.
“Cash is close but I think not for Sunday, Coutinho is close but not for Sunday, Leon Bailey as well is close, Kamara is close.
“The four players are out, Jed Steer is completely out for the season, but the four players are close.
“Maybe they can train with us next week but not for Sunday.”
