Aston Villa’s Youri Tielemans is currently with the Belgium squad, preparing for two UEFA Nations League matches against Ukraine in the coming days. Rudi Garcia will take charge of his first fixture as De Rode Duivels manager on Thursday.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has named his starting XI to face Preston North End in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Ollie Watkins and John McGinn are both named on the bench as Jacob Ramsey, Morgan Rogers, Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford are all named in attack.

Of the several humiliations Manchester United face this year, one close to the top of the list would be Marcus Rashford snatching the FA Cup from his boyhood club – and holders of the trophy – after they went to such lengths to force him out of Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford scored his first two goals for Aston Villa as the midlands side reached the FA Cup semi-finals with a 3-0 win at Preston. The on-loan Manchester United forward struck twice in the space of five minutes either side of the hour as Villa finally broke the resistance of their stubborn Championship hosts at Deepdale.

Unai Emery and his staff have been working overtime to improve the left-back's defensive awareness - will he be trusted further in future?

Aston Villa are keen to sign a new midfielder and Tottenham star Yves Bissouma is a confirmed target, with Spurs willing to sell if their price tag is met.

Coutinho was praised when he first arrived at Aston Villa for £17m, but Coutinho’s performances quickly dipped and he was shipped out. However, according to Mings, when Coutinho first arrived the Brazilian blew everyone away with his quality.
