Stephen Warnock will make his Villa debut, while Richard Dunne could sign in time to bolster a defence that has only kept two clean sheets in 20 games.
If not, rookie Shane Lowry might replace Curtis Davies, who has an ongoing shoulder problem.
Fulham hope to recall captain Danny Murphy, Bobby Zamora and Paul Konchesky, who all missed the midweek Europa League tie in Russia.
Jonathan Greening could make his debut but Kagisho Dikgacoi lacks fitness.
