Villa's winless Premier League run extends to four under John Gregory as they are held by Wimbledon at Villa Park and are shunted down to 9th in the table.
Forward Benito Carbone, 28, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining from Sheffield Wednesday on a short term deal earlier this month for a fee of £250,000 to become the 742nd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
