How will the teams line up?

Serge Aurier is back in training after missing Sunday’s win over Wolves through injury, but Interim Head Coach Ryan Mason will assess Gareth Bale after his shift at the weekend.

Ryan said: “It was probably the best I’ve seen Gareth all season at the weekend, sharp, running at players, he has that confidence back from playing in consecutive games in the Premier League. We’re not sure if he’s going to be ready. He's knows his body. It’s down to the player, he’s experienced enough, so we’ll see.”

Ryan also has “a couple of question marks” over certain players following the Wolves match, while left-back Ben Davies is still sidelined.

For Villa, Matty Cash and Morgan Sanson are out but Tyrone Mings looks set to be available and Jack Grealish could make his first start since February.

Who is the referee and what colours will the teams be playing in?

Craig Pawson will officiate Wednesday evening’s match.

He’ll be assisted by Ian Hussin and Richard West, with Simon Hooper as the fourth official.

The launch of our new Nike 2021/22 home kit will now take place later this month and, as such, we shall continue to wear this season’s home kit for the remainder of the season.

Aston Villa will play in claret and blue shirts, white shorts and blue socks, with our goalkeeper in orange and Villa’s in green.
