John McGinn misses out tonight due to a tight hamstring. A result of a heavy fixture schedule - hope is that the injury is not serious and a preventative measure ahead of the second leg against Forest next Thursday. Story @theathleticfc.bsky.social #AVFC https://www.nytimes.com/a

Sports Illustrated now sponsors three areas at Villa Park: the Sports Illustrated Warehouse, the Sports Illustrated Tickets Plaza, and Club SI. Aston Villa say these will provide a platform for Villa Park to become a year-round destination @johntownley11 #AVFC
