Aston Villa team news

Tyrone Mings sustained a knee injury over the weekend, joining fellow defender Pau Torres besides midfield duo Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana in the treatment room.

As Mings is unlikely to feature, Lucas Digne could partner Ezri Konsa at the back, while skipper John McGinn is in contention after recovering from a hamstring strain.

Celtic team news

Daizen Maeda is suspended as the Japanese attracted a red card late in the 1-0 Champions League win over Young Boys last week, with the game being Kyogo Furuhashi's last in Celtic colours before his eminent move to Rennes.

Jota has returned to Celtic Park but is ineligible for Wednesday's game, while James Forrest and Odin Thiago Holm are unavailable due to knocks.
