Team News: Three changes for Aston Villa

Aston Villa make three changes to their team for the New Year's Day game at home to Crystal Palace.

Aston Villa have made three changes to their side for the clash with Crystal Palace at Villa Park.

Jores Okore has replaced Ciaran Clark in defence, while Leandro Bacuna has come into the side in place of Fabian Delph, who is suspended following his red card in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Sunderland.

Further forward, Gabriel Agbonlahor will form a three-pronged attack alongside Andreas Weimann and Christian Benteke.

Meanwhile, Keith Millen has made just one change to the Eagles lineup in his first game in temporary charge of the club.

Club captain Mile Jedinak is at the Asia Cup with Australia, so Martin Kelly has come into the team.

Aston Villa: Guzan; Hutton, Vlaar, Okore, Cissokho; Bacuna, Sanchez, Cleverley, Weimann; Agbonlahor, Benteke
Subs: Given, Clark, Cole, N'Zogbia, Lowton, Grealish, Robinson

Crystal Palace: Speroni, Kelly, Delaney, Dann, Mariappa, Bolasie, McArthur, Ward, Ledley, Puncheon, Zaha
Subs: Hennessey, Hangeland, Bannan Thomas, Gayle, Campbell, Doyle
