Watkins is suffering from a thigh injury, per The Mail, and will be assessed on Wednesday.

The club does not want to take any chances with their hitman, given his importance to Unai Emery.

They also have Jhon Duran who may be in line for a start, after scoring off the bench against RB Leipzig in midweek.

Duran impressed when he came on against the German side, helping Villa to a vital Champions League group stage win.
