Lucas Digne - Exits injured Sunday Digne was forced off in the 10th minute of Sunday's match against West Ham with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Digne couldn't continue after suffering an injury early and it's unfortunately an immediate exit. He'd been going a full 90 in every match for Villa, so this definitely changes some things up, though Ashley Young is a capable replacement at left-back.

Impact Mings has now recorded two assists and helped his side to three clean sheets in his last three matches.

Matty Cash - Scores, assists in win Cash scored one goal from one shot and provided one assist from three chances created during Thursday's 3-0 win over Leeds United.

Impact Cash is certainly one of Villa's best players this season but now he's adding the offensive payoff with two goals and two assists over his last three matches. This could translate well into the next match against West Ham, which feature a stronger defense but have conceded the second-most chances to defenders in the EPL.

Philippe Coutinho - Scores in win Coutinho scored one goal from three shots (two on goal) and created three chances during Thursday's 3-0 win over Leeds United.

Impact Digne is back in the starting XI after Ashley Young got the call last match in a 4-0 win.

He did a little bit of everything in the prior match against Leeds, also totaling three tackles, two interceptions and six clearances.

Lucas Digne - Available Thursday Digne (COVID-19) is available for Thursday's match against Leeds, according to manager Steven Gerrard.

Impact Digne is available again, though it's unknown how long he's been back with the team following COVID-19 and if he's able to start again. There's a chance Ashley Young gets another start at left-back and then Digne comes on as a replacement in the second half.

Ezri Konsa - Available Thursday Konsa (COVID-19) is available for Thursday's trip to Leeds, according to manager Steven Gerrard.

Impact Konsa is available again, but it's unknown how long he's been back with the team following a positive COVID-19 result. He's a first option on the back line, but there's a chance Calum Chambers gets another start to allow Konsa to get back to full fitness.

Carney Chukwuemeka - Available going forward Chukwuemeka (undisclosed) is available for Thursday's trip to Leeds, according to manager Steven Gerrard.
