Aston Villa team news

Morgan Rogers has returned from suspension, but Aston Villa will be without captain John McGinn, who suffered a hamstring injury against Leicester.

Center-backs Pau Torres and Diego Carlos are also unavailable due to injuries. Jhon Duran remains suspended and will serve the final game of his three-match ban.

West Ham team news

For West Ham, attacking options are reduced as Jarrod Bowen is sidelined with a fractured foot, and Michail Antonio is recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident.

Emerson Palmieri is doubtful due to a minor injury that kept him out of last week’s match, while goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski remains unavailable as he continues to recover from a concussion.
