Aston Villa centre-back Tyrone Mings could be out for the rest of the year with a hamstring injury sustained in last weekend's defeat to Liverpool. In addition, Emiliano Buendia (foot injury), Youri Tielemans (calf), Andres Garcia (cause unknown), and Ross Barkley (ineligible) will also be unavailable.
Victor Lindelof is likely to start at right-back or centre-back, while Lamare Bogarde could be deployed deeper in midfield, partnering with Amadou Onana or Boubacar Kamara.
Jadon Sancho and Donyell Malen are working to regain their starting spots on the wings, while Harvey Elliott — after being unavailable against Liverpool — will return and could fill the attacking midfield role behind striker Ollie Watkins.
On Maccabi Tel Aviv's side, captain Dor Peretz is the club's top scorer with 8 goals this season, and he could continue to be used in the center forward position.
The 30-year-old player could partner with Elad Madmon or Sayed Abu Farkhi, depending on whether coach Zako Lazetic chooses a 3-5-2 formation or keeps the four-man defense.
Tyrese Asante and Roy Revivo are likely to start in defense, while Kristijan Belic (on loan from AZ Alkmaar) and Issouf Sissokho will continue to be trusted in midfield.

Latest football match prediction: Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv
After defeating Bologna and Feyenoord in their opening Europa League matches, Aston Villa's winning streak in the group stage came to a disappointing end two weeks ago when they lost 1-2 away to Go Ahead Eagles despite taking a one-goal lead.
Unai Emery's team quickly bounced back with a 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the Premier League just a few days later, but individual errors led to a 0-2 defeat against reigning champions Liverpool last weekend. This result leaves the West Midlands side in 11th place in the table, but only four points behind second-placed Liverpool.
Before facing Bournemouth on Sunday, Aston Villa will play their fourth Europa League match against Maccabi Tel Aviv — also marking the third anniversary of Unai Emery's tenure as manager. In 154 matches as manager, he has achieved 82 wins, 29 draws, and 43 defeats, a win rate of 53.25%.
Considered a coach with disciplined tactics and tight organization, Emery is urging his players to "regain their structure" and "be more effective in finishing." Villa fans are also hoping striker Ollie Watkins will soon rediscover his form, as his expected goals (xG) after 10 Premier League matches is only 1.74.
Villa will return to home action on Thursday — where they have lost only 1 of their last 27 matches in all competitions (19 wins, 7 draws). That single defeat was a 0-3 loss to Crystal Palace back in August.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is one of seven teams in this year's Europa League that have yet to win a group stage match, having only earned 1 point after 3 games and currently sitting 32nd out of 36 teams.
After drawing 0-0 with PAOK in their first match in Greece, the yellow-shirted team lost two consecutive "home" matches (played in Serbia) against Dinamo Zagreb and Midtjylland, the most recent being a 0-3 defeat two weeks ago.
Nevertheless, Maccabi Tel Aviv is in excellent form in the Israeli Premier League, having dropped only 4 points after the first 9 rounds (7 wins, 2 draws). The 26-time Israeli champions just won 2-0 against Maccabi Bnei Reineh last weekend, continuing to closely trail league leaders Hapoel Be'er Sheva by just 1 point.
This will be Maccabi Tel Aviv's fifth encounter with an English team, and they will be looking to end their 100% losing streak, having previously suffered defeats both at home and away against Chelsea and Stoke City, conceding 13 goals and scoring only 1.
