Aston Villa lineup vs Manchester United

Villa make one change from their 3-2 win at West Ham last Sunday, Emiliano Martinez replacing Marco Bizet in goal on the Argentina international’s return from a back problem.

The hosts are without injured defenders Pau Torres (calf) and Tyrone Mings (hamstring) until January. Midfielder Ross Barkley is expected to be absent until February with a knee issue.

Harvey Elliott is ill and fellow winger Jadon Sancho is ineligible against his parent club, so there is a place on the bench for academy centre-back Leon Routh.

Aston Villa starting XI: Emiliano Martinez, Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Victor Lindelof, Ian Maatsen, John McGinn, Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans, Amadou Onana, Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins

Villa substitutes: Marco Bizot, Emiliano Buendia, Lucas Digne, Andres Garcia, Donyell Malen, Lamare Bogarde, Evann Guessand, George Hemmings, Leon Routh

Kobbie Mainoo is out for United with a knock. Wideman Noussair Mazraoui, midfielder Amad Diallo and forward Bryan Mbeumo are at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, while Casemiro is serving a one-match suspension.

Left-back Patrick Dorgu, midfielder Manuel Ugarte and forward Benjamin Sesko come in from the side who started the 4-4 home draw against Bournemouth on Monday.

Defenders Harry Maguire (hamstring) and Matthijs de Ligt (back) are expected to return from injury this month.

Academy player Bendito Mantato is on the bench for the first time in the league.
