Aston Villa team news

Martinez flew back to his homeland after Villa’s Premier League defeat at Arsenal to be at his dad’s bedside, but he is back in England and trained with the rest of the Villa squad on Friday, having done some training at the national team’s headquarters while in Argentina. Morgan Sanson, Jaden Philogene-Bidace and Trezeguet will be absent.

Smith admitted during Friday’s press conference that Leon Bailey needs to be ‘managed’, and the manager will make a late decision on the attacker’s involvement, but he should be available to start.

Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings are also both expected to be in the XI, while Ramsey’s performance off the bench against Arsenal could see the midfielder come in for a start
