'We're not too far from Arsenal' - Tammy Abraham insists Aston Villa can catch Gunners and win Premier League title

Douglas Luiz - Inefficient in service Douglas Luiz had nine crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United.

Impact Only two of the defender's nine crosses were considered accurate, though part of that could be due to the sheer volume Aston Villa needed to try to get an equalizer. Luiz has a more favorable matchup coming up against a Wolves team with a -32 goal differential, so he should be able to move forward again and be involved in the attack.

Leon Bailey - Strong service Bailey recorded one shot (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Though Bailey didn't get an assist for his efforts, he helped give Aston Villa's attack some potency. If he replicates this effort against a Wolves side that has given up 50 goals in EPL play, he's likely to get an assist or goal.

Tammy Abraham - Nets equalizer off bench Abraham scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Abraham only played 15 minutes but delivered the most important moment of the match for Aston Villa to get a point from the encounter. The attacker may have earned more playing time against Wolves, a side which has conceded 50 goals in 27 EPL games.

Emiliano Martinez - Recovers after conceding goal Martinez made three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Martinez gave up a goal in the first half but had a stellar effort outside of that lapse to keep Aston Villa in the match. He should have an easier time dealing with Wolves, a team which has produced just 18 goals in 27 league games.

Andres Garcia - Back on bench Garcia (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Leeds United.

Impact Garcia returns to the squad and is named on the bench for Saturday's clash against Leeds United after being sidelined for the last three-plus weeks with a hamstring injury. Even so, he remains a depth option in defense and is unlikely to command a regular starting role.

Matty Cash - Makes starting XI Cash (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Leeds United.

Impact Cash makes the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Leeds United after missing Villa's last two matches due to injury. The defender returns directly to the lineup and replaces Lamare Bogarde at right-back. His inclusion restores a regular presence in defense after his brief absence.

Impact Elliott has been a depth piece for Villa and hasn't seen many minutes at the Premier League level, so his absence won't have a big impact from a fantasy perspective. He could return to face Wolverhampton on Friday, Feb. 27, but even if he's cleared to return, he's not expected to see many minutes.

Andres Garcia - Expected to return Saturday Garcia (hamstring) is expected to be an option for Saturday's game against Leeds United, manager Unai Emery revealed during Friday's press conference.

Impact Garcia was not mentioned among the injury absentees for this contest, so he's expected to return after being sidelined for the last three-plus weeks with a hamstring injury. Garcia is a depth option on defense and isn't expected to start regularly even if healthy, so he's not likely to have a big impact from a fantasy perspective.

Marco Bizot - Shown red Saturday Bizot was shown a straight red card in the 45th minute of Saturday's FA Cup match against Newcastle United.

Impact Bizot was sent off with a straight red card during the first half of Saturday's FA Cup clash against Newcastle United. The goalkeeper will miss at least one match due to suspension. The Dutchman typically starts in the FA Cup but not in league play, so his absence is not expected to significantly impact the team.

Matty Cash - Ruled out Saturday Cash (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Cash is unavailable for Saturday's FA Cup matchup against Newcastle United after failing to recover from a minor knee issue picked up during the week. His absence is a major blow for the squad, as he has been a mainstay in the starting XI, making 29 starts across 31 appearances in all competitions while tallying three goals and three assists this season. The right-back is replaced in the starting XI by Lamare Bogarde.
