Aston Villa & Leeds United early injury & team news as fresh blows leave 4 out and 6 doubts but trio now back

Leeds United will resume their bid for Premier League survival with Saturday’s huge clash at third-placed Aston Villa - for which blows have left four men and six more doubtful.

Leeds and Villa were both in action in the FA Cup fourth round at the weekend, Villa going first with Saturday’s hosting of Newcastle United which ultimately ended in a 3-1 defeat.

Unai Emery’s side already had key men missing for the visit of the Magpies and Villa were then dealt further blows in the tie itself which may now have consequences as far as Saturday’s visit of Leeds is concerned.

Leeds, though, already without key men themselves, also suffered a fresh injury blow in Sunday’s clash at Birmingham City which went all the way to penalties after a 1-1 draw, a 4-2 win on spot kicks eventually putting Daniel Farke’s Whites in the fifth round draw.

All told, it’s now left four men out of Saturday’s 3pm kick-off at Villa Park and six others doubtful although three others are now back.

Here, we run through the early injury and team news from both camps.
