Aston Villa have had to turn to their Under 23s after their FA Cup clash against Liverpool was thrown into chaos after a 'large number' of stars tested positive for coronavirus.
Dean Smith and his whole first-team squad have been forced to self-isolate ahead of the huge third-round clash, with the club's Bodymoor Heath Training Ground also closed.
But after the FA granted approval for the fixture against Jurgen Klopp's men to be played, it will be Mark Delaney and a team of youth players who will take to the field if they all themselves test negative.
