Emi Martínez will make his 200th appearance for Aston Villa this afternoon, as Unai Emery’s side take on Preston North End in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Argentinian goalkeeper captains the team behind a back four of Lucas Digne, Tyrone Mings, Ezri Konsa and Matty Cash at Deepdale, as the Villans bid to book their place in a Wembley semi-final.

Emery has opted for Boubacar Kamara and Youri Tielemans in midfield, for Villa's first game out of the international break.

Morgan Rogers, Marco Asensio and Jacob Ramsey line up alongside Marcus Rashford in attack, with a total of three changes from Villa’s last outing before the break - their 3-0 victory over Club Brugge at Villa Park in the Champions League round of 16 second leg.
