Midfielder Eunan O’Kane is struggling with a hip injury picked up in last Saturday’s 2-0 win at Barnsley.

O’Kane’s place in the engine room is likely to be taken by Ronaldo Vieira, who is available again after serving a one-match suspension. 

Striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga remains sidelined by a leg injury so Caleb Ekuban should continue in attack after a promising display against Barnsley.

Winger Stuart Dallas is also unavailable so Ezgjan Alioski, Pablo Hernandez and Samuel Saiz will continue behind Ekuban. 

Villa boss Steve Bruce could make two changes with Chris Samba and Ahmed Elmohamady returning to the defence.

Samba will come back in for the injured Mile Jedinak while Elmohamady is likely to take Neil Taylor’s place, with Alan Hutton shifting across to left-back to counter the threat of Alioski cutting in from the flank onto his left foot. 

Keinan Davis will continue to lead the attack, with Jonathan Kodjia and Scott Hogan both out injured.
