Matty Cash returned to Aston Villa’s starting XI for their FA Cup fourth-round replay against Chelsea.

The defender replaced Ezri Konsa, who has been ruled out for 3-4 weeks, in Unai Emery’s backline for the cup tie at Villa Park.

It was the sole change from Saturday’s 5-0 victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Fit-again duo Pau Torres and Nicolò Zaniolo returned to the bench as Villa looked to book their place in the fifth round of the competition.
