The scheduled 3pm kick-off was moved due to serious traffic problems outside the Amex Stadium, which has held up both supporters and Steven Gerrard’s team.

Villa were still to arrive at the ground by 2pm, when the teams were officially announced.

Boss Gerrard has made two changes to the starting XI from last weekend’s 1-0 defeat to Watford, with Ollie Watkins and Ezri Konsa replacing Emi Buendia and Calum Chambers.

Villa are looking to improve on a run of just one win in seven matches which has seen them fall to 13th in the table.
