Aston Villa v Newcastle (15:00 BST)
Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins hasn't recovered from a knee injury, while Bertrand Traore faces several weeks out with a hamstring problem.
Midfielders Morgan Sanson and Douglas Luiz could be involved, although the latter only recently returned from the Olympics and is unlikely to start.
Newcastle are without Jonjo Shelvey, who has a fresh calf injury, but Joe Willock is available after completing his permanent move late last week.
Freddie Woodman will start in goal.
Martin Dubravka is still out with a foot injury and Karl Darlow has yet to overcome the effects of Covid-19.

End of X postLawro's predictionspublished at 11:08 British Summer Time 21 August 2021
Lawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For this weekend's fixtures, he is up against The Wombats drummer Dan Haggis.
Lawro said: "Burnley won at Anfield in January, ending the Reds' 68-game unbeaten run there in the league and starting a dismal run of home form.
"I don't see Sean Dyche's side repeating that result this time though. We don't know what is going on behind the scenes but I don't really understand why the Clarets board are not backing him more in the transfer market."
