Latest team news for Aston Villa vs Southampton
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery may make changes to his squad ahead of next week's Champions League trip to Leipzig. The midweek use of Tyrone Mings could be just the beginning of a rotation plan. Players like Diego Carlos, Pau Torres, Jhon Duran, and Ian Maatsen are available if Emery decides to rotate the team. Amadou Onana could return to the bench after a leg injury, while Jacob Ramsey is still recovering from a hamstring injury.
Ollie Watkins, who is holding the record ahead of John Duran, has scored five goals in his last six Premier League games at Villa Park. If he scores one more, he will equal Dwight Yorke's record of 37 home goals.
Southampton face difficulties with Jack Stephens suspended after his red card against Chelsea. Manager Russell Martin is also dealing with a number of injuries, including Will Smallbone, Adam Lallana and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. However, Paul Onuachu and Jan Bednarek are expected to return, along with Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Tyler Dibling and Flynn Downes after suspensions. Lesley Ugochukwu, unavailable due to regulations, will be a crucial addition. Therefore, Southampton's lineup could change significantly for Saturday's match.

Latest Aston Villa vs Southampton football match prediction
After Aston Villa dropped to the bottom half of the Premier League table and Chelsea maintained their impressive form, Birmingham ended their poor run with a 3-1 victory over Brentford. This win lifted them to seventh place and extended their unbeaten home run in the Premier League to six matches.
Morgan Rogers, a recent England international, opened the scoring, before Ollie Watkins converted from the penalty and Matty Cash sealed the victory. Aston Villa are also unbeaten in 11 games against newly promoted teams since Unai Emery took charge, with five wins in their last six home matches.
Southampton continue to languish at the bottom of the table, having only earned 1 point since the international break. Russell Martin's side have won only 1 Premier League game this season and have conceded 30 goals in 14 matches. Following their 1-5 defeat to Chelsea, Southampton are now the team with the fewest goals scored and are 7 points behind safety.
With a tough fixture list ahead, including matches against Aston Villa, Tottenham, and the League Cup quarter-final against Liverpool, manager Russell Martin's future could be in jeopardy. Southampton's away form is particularly poor, having gone 14 games without a win, losing 11 since February 2023.
