Tim Sherwood was still searching for his first win as Villa boss after two defeats but was without captain Ron Vlaar, who failed to recover from a calf injury.
Albion, who beat Villa 1-0 earlier in the season, were unchanged following their 1-0 win over Southampton as strikers Saido Berahino and Brown Ideye shrugged off injuries to start.
