What is the team news?
Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Heung-Min Son is in line to play at least a half at Villa Park as he continues to work his way back from a foot injury.
The skipper returned to action off the bench against Crystal Palace last weekend and looks set to pick up more minutes against Villa with next week’s UEFA Europa League Final against Manchester United looming large.
Unfortunately, Dejan Kulusevski is now out after undergoing surgery on a knee injury picked up against Palace.
He joins James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall, Radu Dragusin, Dane Scarlett and Timo Werner on the sidelines.
Villa will be without United loanee Marcus Rashford and Youri Tielemans through injury, while Jacob Ramsey is suspended.
Who is the referee?
Peter Bankes will referee the game, assisted by Eddie Smart and Nick Greenhalgh.
The fourth official will be Tim Robinson.
James Bell and assistant Dan Cook will take on VAR duties.
What colours will the teams be playing in?
Aston Villa will wear their usual claret and blue shirts with white shorts and blue socks.
Their goalkeeper will be using an all-black strip with red trim.
We’ll wear our usual home kit – Lilywhite shirts, navy blue shorts and white socks – with our keeper in yellow.
What will the weather conditions be like?
It’s set to be a bright, sunny day on Friday, with temperatures at around 18 degrees when the game gets underway.
