Unai Emery has named his Aston Villa side to take on Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on Saturday evening.
The Villans travel to the North East to face the Magpies, looking to continue building momentum after an emphatic 6-0 UEFA Champions League victory over Fenerbahçe in midweek.
And Emery makes four changes to the starting 11 which prevailed over the Turkish team, as Alysson makes his first start in claret and blue.
The Brazilian winger comes in for Ibrahim Mbaye, with Emi Buendía also back in for captain John McGinn.
Tyrone Mings is restored in defence, and captains the side, with João Gomes replacing Ross Barkley in the XI.
Leon Goretzka and Brian Madjo will both be hoping to make their Premier League debuts from the bench, the latter back from injury having not appeared since the Super Cup.
