New goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez could make his Aston Villa debut against Sheffield United on Monday after his £20m move from Arsenal.
Martinez is set to deputise for the injured Tom Heaton, who is not expected to be available for at least a month.
Matty Cash and Ollie Watkins could make their Premier League debuts after big-money summer moves to Villa Park. Striker Wesley remains out with his own long-term knee injury.
Sheffield United will be without striker Lys Mousset, who continues to recover from a toe ligament injury.
Several players impressed despite a midweek Carabao Cup defeat on penalties to Burnley, with Max Lowe, Ethan Ampadu, Jayden Bogle and Oliver Burke all hoping to be involved.
Sander Berge came through that game unscathed after previously picking up a knock on Norway duty and could replace John Lundstram in midfield.
