Team News: Timber starts at Villa Park

Mikel Arteta has made one change to the side that beat Wolves 2-0 on the opening day of the Premier League campaign.

Jurrien Timber comes in to make his first start for us since the opening day of last season, and his first ever appearance for us in an away game.

He replaces Alex Zinchenko, who drops to the bench, while the rest of the back four is unchanged. Ben White is at right back, while William Saliba and Gabriel are in the middle, in front of goalkeeper David Raya. All three were this week named in the PFA Team of the Year for last season.
