Team News: Remi Garde rings the changes

Remi Garde rings the changes

Remi Garde has made a host of alterations to his Aston Villa starting lineup for today's FA Cup tie away at Wycombe Wanderers.

Micah Richards, Leandro Bacuna, Idrissa Gana and Carles Gil are the only players to have kept their place from the side that lost 3-1 away at Sunderland last time out.

Mark Bunn has been called in to replace Brad Guzan between the posts, while the likes of Scott Sinclair, Rudy Gestede and Kieran Richardson have also earned themselves recalls.

As for the home team, boss Gareth Ainsworth has been forced to make a change in goal due to Matt Ingram's suspension.

Alex Lynch has filled the void left by Ingram, with 46-year-old coach Barry Richardson being named on the bench as deputy keeper.

The other switch has seen Max Kretzschmar drop out in favour of Welsh youth international Aaron Holloway.

Wycombe Wanderers: Lynch; McCarthy, Jacobson, Stewart, Pierre; Harriman, O'Nien, Bloomfield, Wood, Thompson; Amadi-Holloway Subs: Richardson, Jombati, Rowe, McGinn, Kreztschmar, Udumaga, Ugwu

Aston Villa: Bunn; Richards, Okore, Clark, Richardson; Bacuna, Gana, Westwood, Gil, Sinclair; Gestede Subs: Guzan, Lescott, Veretout, Ayew, Kozak, Lyden, Cissokho
