Aston Villa make three changes to their starting XI after last weekend’s 2-1 Premier League home win over Leicester City. Emiliano Martínez makes way for Robin Olsen in goal. Morgan Rogers and Ian Maatsen step up, while Lucas Digne drops to the bench and captain John McGinn sits this one out injured.
West Ham United also make three changes, after the strange 4-1 defeat at Manchester City that sometimes promised more but ultimately cost Julen Lopetegui his job. Łukasz Fabiański replaces Alphonse Areola in goal. Konstantinos Mavropanos and Oliver Scarles coming in, with Vladimír Coufal benched and Jean-Clair Todibo out injured. The 19-year-old midfielder Scarles, who has appeared a couple of times as a Premier League sub, will make his first start for West Ham.
