Team News
Aston Villa
Bristol City
- A string of injuries for the hosts means that Steve Bruce has few options when it comes to squad rotation here. That said, Birkir Bjarnason and Jack Grealish will both be hoping for starts.
- Gabby Agbonlahor, Jonathan Kodjia and Andre Green are all sidelined in the attacking department, while Christopher Samba and John Terry continue their recoveries. Henri Lansbury will also sit this clash out.
- Frank Fielding's red card against Wolves means that he will sit out the Robins' first game of 2018. Meanwhile, Ivan Lucic, Callum O'Dowda and Famara Diedhiou continue to miss out due to injury.
- Lee Johnson will also be without Jens Hegeler, Gary O'Neil and Eros Pisano as his Bristol City side travel to Villa Park.
