Aston Villa have new signings Jonathan Kodjia and Albert Adomah ready to make their debuts against Nottingham Forest.
But former Crystal Palace midfielder Mile Jedinak's first home start could be in doubt after he suffered an injury on international duty with Australia.
Nottingham Forest will be without strikers Britt Assombalonga and Nicklas Bendtner for the trip to Villa Park.
Assombalonga has not recovered from a hamstring injury while new signing Bendtner is not yet match fit.
Midfielder Chris Cohen is also injured and has been ruled out.
Match facts
- This is the first-ever meeting of two former European Cup winners outside the top flight.
