Dean Smith could be set to hand debuts to several new players, with the likes of Matty Cash, Ollie Watkins and Emiliano Martinez ready to make their Premier League bow for the club. Bertrand Traore also joined the club earlier this week, but the former Lyon winger may not be in the squad this weekend.
Jack Grealish decision to commit his future to his boyhood club came as a major boost for the Villans, who are looking to build up their 17th place finish from last season.
Wesley, Bjorn Engels, and Tom Heaton injured and will not be available for selection.
Injuries: Bjorn Engels, Tom Heaton, Wesley

Aston Villa vs Sheffield United: Prediction
Dean Smith's men are winless in 13 former 16 games as a whole, and they have a total of only four victories at home throughout 2020 so far.
They have also 17 finish in the table last season, and just plain lucky to avoid relegation by the smallest possible margin.
Meanwhile, their colleagues is one of the most exciting teams to watch last year. They did lose in the final European ticket, but in the process they delivered countless disorders, and also is one of the best defensive team after Liverpool throughout the year.
In addition, they have great h2h record against these opponents. They have lost only once against the Lions since 2011, and unbeaten in this stadium since 2007.
Taking into account these observations, expect a game inspired by a visitor - Sheffield United on Monday.
