Team News: Two changes for Aston Villa against Everton as Brad Guzan replaced by Shay Given

Sherwood drops Guzan for Given

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has made two changes ahead of his side's Premier League clash against Everton at Villa Park.

Goalkeeper Brad Guzan has been dropped from his side's starting XI in favour of Shay Given, while midfielder Carlos Sanchez makes way for Charles N'Zogbia.

Defender Alan Hutton returned to training on Wednesday after an ankle injury and is deemed fit enough to make the bench.

There are two changes for Everton as well, as Leon Osman and Ross Barkley are benched in favour of Steven Naismith and Kevin Mirallas.

Bryan Oviedo will miss the remainder of the season with a broken metatarsal.

Aston Villa: Given, Bacuna, Vlaar, Okore, Richardson, Westwood, Cleverley, Delph, N'Zogbia, Grealish, Benteke Subs: Guzan, Sinclair, Weimann, Cole, Hutton, Sanchez, Senderos

Everton: Howard, Baines, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman, Barry, McCarthy, Mirallas, Naismith, Lennon, Lukaku Subs: Joel, McGeady, Kone, Besic, Barkley, Osman, Alcaraz
