Warriors defensive linkman Marvelous Nakamba has earned his first XI appearance in the league at Aston Villa this season after being named in the starting line-up against Burnley.

The Zimbabwean midfielder was used from the bench as a late second-half substitute in all the previous games of the 2020/21 campaign.

The opportunity to start follows the suspension of Douglas Luiz, who was sent off in the 1-0 win over Wolves last week.
