Image: Nathan Baker: Could return for Aston Villa

Aston Villa could be unchanged for the visit of Huddersfield on Tuesday.

Roberto Di Matteo claimed his first win as manager - and Villa's first victory for six months - when they beat Rotherham 3-0 on Saturday.

Nathan Baker may return after he missed the win over the Millers with a head injury suffered in the 3-1 EFL Cup defeat to Luton last week.
