But with injuries to Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans and John McGinn, Elliott has been recalled. Young midfielder George Hemmings makes his full debut for the club.
Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Bogarde, Lindelof, Mings, Digne, Hemmings, Onana, Elliott, Buendia, Sancho, Watkins.
Subs: Bizot, Wright, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Rogers, Jimoh-Aloba, Young.
Austrian Bundesliga leaders Red Bull Salzburg make just one change from their 3-1 Europa League over Basel.
Striker Karim Konate replaces Yorbe Vertessen with the visitors needing to win – and for other results to go for them – to snatch a play-off spot.
