Manchester United club captain Harry Maguire could be fit to return on Sunday but his fellow centre-backs Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane remain out.
Alejandro Garnacho, who suffered an ankle injury seven weeks ago, has returned to training but he is not expected to be involved this weekend.
Aston Villa could be unchanged for the fourth successive game.
Matty Cash, Boubacar Kamara, Philippe Coutinho and Leon Bailey are still out.
Head coach Unai Emery hopes the injured quartet will be able to train next week.
CHRIS SUTTON'S PREDICTION
I can see why Villa are on such a good run because Ollie Watkins carries a real threat, Emi Buendia is so creative and they have a properly balanced midfield.
