Aston Villa
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will likely rotate his squad after defeat at the weekend, with the likes of Noone and Mutch returning to the starting XI.
- Fraizer Campbell will also hope to come into contention now that Craig Bellamy is suspended having faced retrospective action for an elbow in the derby against Swansea.
- The manager has no fresh injury concerns to contend with, though he is yet to decide on his favoured starting line-up.
- Ryan Bertrand picked up a rib injury at the weekend but should be fit to play in midweek, while Lambert will be desperate to have captain Ron Vlaar back available.
- After defeat at the weekend changes are likely, with El Ahmadi potentially returning to the midfield and Bacuna dropping in to right-back.
- A bright substitute appearance from Marc Albrighton may well earn the winger a start ahead of Weimann or Agbonlahor, who were both ineffective on Saturday.
