Queens Park Rangers were one of the busiest clubs within the transfer market on January and Mark Hughes is expected to hand out a few debuts this evening.
Nedum Onuoha is likely to start in defence along with Taye Taiwo, while injuries may allow Djibril Cisse to begin the match as a lone striker.
However, Bobby Zamora will have to wait to make his first appearance for Rangers because the paperwork for his move was not completed in time.
In stark contrast to QPR, hosts Villa were relatively quiet in the market.
Boss Alex McLeish has doubts over James Collins and Marc Albrighton and as a result is unlikely to make any changes from Sunday's FA Cup tie against Arsenal.
Current form:
Villa: LDWLDW
QPR: LDLLLW
Possible lineups:
Villa: Given; Hutton, Dunne, Cuellar, Warnock; N'Zogbia, Petrov, Clark, Agbonlahor; Keane, Bent
QPR: Kenny; Taiwo, Ferdinand, Hill, Onuoha; Wright-Phillips, Barton, Derry, Mackie; Smith, Cisse
Sports Mole says: 1-1
