After a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, the Reds rebuilt their seven-point buffer at the top of the Premier League table. They were far from their best against Wolves and after a dominant first half they almost let the game slip away.
Slot is set to provide an update on the fitness of the squad this morning, with Cody Gakpo having missed the game on Sunday with a foot issue.
Villa have performed well in the Champions League and FA Cup this season, although their league form has been inconsistent.At the weekend they only managed a draw against Ipswich Town, who played the majority of the game with 10 men.
