Aston Villa are preparing to host Ipswich Town at home in the Premier League this weekend. The former side registered a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the 4th round of the FA Cup in their previous game and hence, will be high in confidence.
The Villans are eighth on the league points table but not far away from breaking into the top four or five. Hence, they will be highly motivated to clinch all three points this Saturday. A win will help them go after a Champions League position for next season.
4-2-3-1 Aston Villa Predicted Lineup vs Ipswich Town
Defence
Emi Martinez had a great game against Spurs and he will be hoping to deliver a similar sort of performance this weekend. No change at the right-back spot as Andres Garcia keeps his position in the lineup.
While Boubacar Kamara continues at the heart of the defence, Ezri Konsa could be making way for the entry of Axel Disasi. Left full-back Lucas Digne is expected to be retained for the concerned role.
Midfield
The midfield of Youri Tielemans and John McGinn worked perfectly in the previous game. They are expected to be deployed in the middle of the park yet again.
Attack
Leon Bailey continues to operate on the right flank with Jacob Ramsey taking care of the left wing. In-form Morgan Rogers keeps his spot as the attacking midfielder in the lineup.
Ollie Watkins, who missed the previous game due to an injury, is expected to return. However, he is likely to start on the bench with Donyell Malen being the striker on the field.
New signings, Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio, are expected to get some minutes in this game.
Pau Torres and Matty Cash are surely unavailable while Tyrone Mings and Ross Barkley are doubtful.
