Unai Emery made five changes for Aston Villa’s Premier League encounter against Arsenal at Villa Park.

Tyrone Mings passed a late fitness test and started against the Gunners, while there were also recalls for Matty Cash, Álex Moreno, Philippe Coutinho and John McGinn, who took the captain’s armband.  

Calum Chambers, Ashley Young, Lucas Digne, Jacob Ramsey and Leon Bailey made way and were all named among the substitutes for the lunchtime kick-off.

They were joined by fit-again Bertrand Traoré as the Villans looked to get back to winning ways.



Aston Villa: Martínez, Moreno, Mings, Cash, Konsa, Luiz, McGinn, Buendía, Kamara, Coutinho, Watkins.

Subs: Sinisalo, A Young, Ramsey, Chambers, Durán, Digne, Traoré, Dendoncker, Bailey.
