Team News: Christian Benteke missing for Aston Villa against West Bromwich Albion

A hip injury rules Christian Benteke out of Aston Villa's FA Cup quarter-final with Midlands rivals West Brom.

Aston Villa are without Christian Benteke for their FA Cup quarter-final against West Bromwich Albion this evening.

The Belgian striker scored a stoppage-time penalty to beat the Baggies in the Premier League on Tuesday but misses out on the repeat fixture with a hip problem.

The suspended Alan Hutton and goalkeeper Brad Guzan also drop out from that 2-1 victory at Villa Park as Leandro Bacuna, Shay Given and Scott Sinclair come in.

Albion also make a change in goal as Ben Foster is rested for Boaz Myhill. Jonas Olsson makes his first appearance in over five months after recovering from an Achilles injury.

The Swede's return allows Chris Brunt to move into midfield to compensate for the absence of the cup-tied Darren Fletcher. Saido Berahino and Brown Ideye continue up front.

Villa: Given; Lowton, Okore, Clark, Bacuna; Westwood, Delph, Cleverley; Sinclair, Agbonlahor, N'Zogbia
Subs: Guzan, Weimann, Sanchez, Gil, Grealish, Kinsella, Calder

West Brom: Myhill; Dawson, McAuley, Lescott, Olsson; Brunt, Morrison, Yacob, Gardner; Berahino, Ideye
Subs: Foster, Wisdom, Pocognoli, Baird, Mulumbu, Sessegnon, McManaman
