Preston team news

Sam Greenwood and Ryan Ledson will be suspended on account of their red and second yellow in the FA Cup this season, respectively, against Burnley. Ryan Porteous is cup-tied and Kaine Kesler-Hayden is ineligible to face his parent club.

Besides, Ali McCann, Brad Potts, and Jack Whatmough remain sidelined by injuries, with Whatmough ruled out for the rest of the season.

However, in the better news, Milutin Osmajic is available after battling his own injury concern despite alleged charges of racist abuse towards Burnley's Hannibal Mejbri.

Aston Villa team news

Ollie Watkins is expected to be back in action following his England squad omission, but Ross Barkley will miss out due to a knee injury.

Chelsea-owned Axel Disasi is cup-tied, while Pau Torres is a fitness doubt following a metatarsal fracture. So Ezri Konsa and Tyrone Mings are in line to be partnered at centre-back.
