In this tactical design, the two most advanced players will be Joelinton and Miguel Almirón, and Ritchie, Saint-Maximin, Hayden and Shelvey will perform in the midfield. The local coach cannot count on Willems, Colback, Dummett, Clark and Longstaff, due to physical problems.

Aston Villa comes to this performance unmotivated, after a 1-2 loss at home to Chelsea, thus adding the sixth consecutive game without winning in this English league: the only goal of the team was scored by Hause. The visiting team must act in a tactical system at 4-3-3, with the aim of trying to take advantage of counterattacks. In any case, Aston Villa is believed to take a more defensive stance, as it features a lower-quality team. Jack Grealish is the top scorer for this team, with seven goals scored. Outside of this game are Wesley, Heaton, Engels and Guibert, all with physical problems.
