Marcus Rashford could be handed his first Aston Villa start against Liverpool laater on Wednesday.
The Manchester United loanee has impressed in his two substitute appearances since joining earlier this month.
Forward Rashford has not started since United's 2-1 Europa League win at Viktoria Plzen in December and completed just four games this season.
Real Madrid loanee Marco Asensio is also pushing to start with Villa, ninth in the Premier League, looking to close the six-point gap to the top four when they host the leaders.
