"Midfielders Amadou Onana, Ross Barkley and Youri Tielemans and wideman Andres Garcia remain out for Villa through injury but defender Victor Lindelof is on the bench again, having returned from an issue in the 1-1 draw at Sunderland on Sunday. Morgan Rogers was Villa's top scorer on their run to the Champions League quarter-finals last season, contributing four goals and three assists in 12 appearances. England striker Ollie Watkins is on the bench."
