Ezri Konsa returned to Aston Villa’s starting line-up for their Premier League encounter against Luton Town.

The fit-again centre-back was named in Unai Emery’s XI at Kenilworth Road having missed the club’s last four matches due to injury sustained in the 5-0 victory over Sheffield United.

Konsa’s return proved to be the sole change from last weekend’s win over Nottingham Forest.

Fellow defender Pau Torres, who was forced off at half-time against The Reds, was fit enough to return to Villa’s matchday 20 and claimed a place among the substitutes.   



Luton: Kaminski, Mengi, Burke, Bell, Kaboré, Clark, Barkley, Doughty, Townsend, Chong, Morris.

Subs: Shea, Krul, Ogbene, Berry, Woodrow, Mpanzu, Hashioka, Nelson, Piesold.

Aston Villa: Martínez, Cash, Konsa, Lenglet, Moreno, Bailey, McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey, Tielemans, Watkins.

Subs: Olsen, Digne, Torres, Chambers, Diaby, Zaniolo, Rogers, Kesler Hayden, Iroegbunam.
