Right-back Matty Cash was substituted eight minutes before the end of Villa's victory over West Ham. It seemed as though Cash had suffered a blow to the upper part of his leg, but Emery did not address the defender's condition following the match.
 
Still, reserve right-back Kosta Nedeljkovic is waiting in the wings, but if Cash is left out, Emery might choose to go with the more seasoned player and move Ezri Konsa to right-back, freeing up Diego Carlos to return to the center of defense amid rumors of his departure.
 
Villa should think about moving Duran up to the starting lineup as Boubacar Kamara and Tyrone Mings are still recovering from serious knee injuries. 
Arsenal Team News
 
Declan Rice suffered cramps only minutes before the end of Arsenal's victory over Wolves, forcing them to make a late change. However, the English midfielder will likely start at Villa Park.
 
Havertz is attempting to overcome some personal demons on Saturday, as the former Chelsea striker has never scored or assisted a teammate in seven prior Premier League games with Villa—his worst record against any English top-flight team.
 
While Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and Kieran Tierney (hamstring) are still some weeks away from full-back recovery, Fabio Vieira (hip) might also be ready for the journey to the West Midlands.
