Jacob Ramsey returned to Aston Villa’s starting XI for their Premier League encounter against Leeds United.

The fit-again midfielder, who last started against Brighton & Hove Albion prior to the World Cup, was a second-half substitute in Sunday’s FA Cup tie against Stevenage.

Ramsey replaced Matty Cash in Villa’s line-up, with the right-back absent from the matchday 20 due to injury, as head coach Unai Emery made one change from the 1-1 draw against Wolves in Villa’s most recent league outing.

New signing Álex Moreno was named among the substitutes for the clash at Villa Park.



Aston Villa: Martínez, A Young, Digne, Mings, Konsa, Kamara, Luiz, Ramsey, Buendía, Watkins, Bailey.

Subs: Olsen, Coutinho, Ings, K Young, Chambers, Moreno, Sanson, Bednarek, Nakamba.

Leeds: Meslier, Cooper, Ayling, Koch, Struijk, Gnonto, Adams, Harrison, Roca, Aaronson, Rodrigo.

Subs: Robles, Firpo, Gelhardt, Perkins, Bamford, Llorente, Wöber, Kristensen, Greenwood.
