Commentary
Substitution Aaron Wan-Bissaka Pau Torres
Play is paused as Aston Villa's makeshift left-back stays down on the turf with an apparent injury. Wan-Bissaka may have to come off, with Maatsen and Ruggeri already ruled out of action.
SUPER STOP! Hornicek to the rescue! Two Villa subs are quickly involved, as Mbaye sends Jackson into the area, and the latter cuts the ball back to Barkley around 20 yards out. With his first touch of the match, the substitute drills a strike towards the bottom-left corner, only to be denied by a fine save by Hornicek!
Aston Villa's fourth substitution sees Barkley - who bagged a brace in midweek - replace Joao Gomes in central mifdfield.
Goretzka is also sent on to make his Premier League debut, with Buendia making way.
Having just gone down nursing a knock, Manzambi departs. Mbaye will replace him for the closing stages.
