Aston Villa are five games without a win heading into tomorrow's Championship clash against Rotherham at Villa Park.

Steve Bruce's men rescued a point against Blackburn thanks to a stoppage time free-kick from Conor Hourihane but it couldn't mask what was another disappointing performance from the West Midlands side.

Many of the Villa supporters who travelled to Lancashire made their feeligns known with the pressure seriously building on Bruce.

The visit of the Millers already seems must-win even at this early stage of the campaign and fans will understandably expect three points.

Therefore, Bruce could make changes for the game, with Villa needing to play on the front foot with fast, attacking football.

That could see several changes from the XI that began at Ewood Park and here's the side we think Bruce should go with against Paul Warne's men...

The summer signing has held on to the number one position despite a tough start and will continue in goal against the newly-promoted side.

With Villa looking to play a more expansive game, Elmohamady should revert from a midfield role to right-back.

The on-loan Manchester United man should get a run of games in his preferred centre-back position now.

Chester is a crucial player to this side and will hope to build a better understanding and strong partnership with Tuanzebe as the season progresses.

It will be a tough call for Bruce between Hutton and Neil Taylor but the Scotsman should just about get the nod as he offers more going forward with his drive and pace.

The former Hibs man has been a regular since joining Villa and could have a more defensive role tomorrow.

The Irishman saved the day against Rovers with his late strike and that should be enough to see him return to the midfield against Rotherham.

After coming on as a substitute on Saturday, Bolasie should noe be fit enough to start and will give the side real width and a major attacking threat.

Grealish is the first name on the teamsheet and will be the main creative threat for the hosts.

With Villa needing to win, Kodjia could start from the left but will look to move centrally and will provide Bruce's men with a goalscoring option.

The new signing was handed his debut against Blackburn and will get a run of games as the number nine for Villa.
