Aston Villa boss Dean Smith has confirmed that James Chester, Axel Tuanzebe and Jack Grealish are all out for Villa’s clash with West Brom this weekend.
Villa host 4th-placed West Brom on Saturday at Villa Park as they look to get one over their local rivals.
West Brom will have their star striker Dwight Gayle missing from the game, after he was given a two-match ban for diving against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
Ahead of the game, Smith has confirmed that all three players have no chance of facing West Brom.

Tommy Elphick and Tyrone Mings are expected to continue in central defence, in the absence of James Chester.
