Team News

Aston Villa
Ipswich
  • Aston Villa are likely to be without as many as six players here through injury, including key players Pau Torres, Ollie Watkins and Ezri Konsa.
  • The absence of Watkins could see Marcus Rashford come into the XI for his start following his arrival on loan from Manchester United.
  • Marco Asensio may also start in place of Leon Bailey on the right flank.
  • Conor Chaplin, Sam Szmodics, Wes Burns, Christian Walton and Chiedozie Ogbene are all ruled out for the visitors here.
  • Late January addition Alex Palmer will be expected to start between the sticks after a strong debut in the FA Cup last weekend.

Prediction

  • Despite their injury struggles, Aston Villa progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup last weekend, dumping Tottenham out of the competition in the process.
  • Unai Emery's side are winless in their last three league matches, though, and will be keen to be back among the points with a home win here.
  • After the disappointment of the defeat at home to Southampton, Ipswich put four past Coventry in the FA Cup last weekend, providing a much needed confidence boost.
  • Kieran McKenna's side are now without a Premier League victory in five matches - and have lost all of their last four in the competition.
  • An entertaining 2-2 draw was played out between these two sides back in September, but the home side will be expected to claim all three points this time around.
