Micah Richards is available to face former club Manchester City in Remi Garde's first game in charge at Aston Villa.
The defender missed Monday's defeat at Tottenham through suspension but could return with rock bottom Villa looking to end a run of seven straight league defeats on Sunday.
Gabby Agbonlahor came off at half time against Spurs with a tight calf while Ashley Westwood should recover after being hit in the face at White Hart Lane and Idrissa Gana and Adama Traore are expected to return after being rested.
Provisional squad: Guzan, Bunn, Hutton, Bacuna, Clark, Richards, Lescott, Okore, Richardson, Amavi, Crespo, Westwood, Sanchez, Gana, N'Zogbia, Veretout, Gil, Grealish, Traore, Kozak, Gestede, Agbonlahor, Sinclair, Ayew.
