Aston Villa are 16th in the Premier League. Adam Davy/PA Images via Getty Images Aston Villa boss Unai Emery will leave his team selection for Saturday's game with Newcastle until the last minute.
Villa were in action in the Champions League on Wednesday, hammering Fenerbahce 6-0, but Emery will decide how many changes to make for the evening visit to St James' Park.
Emery said Ross Barkley and George Hemmings will be assessed but left-backs Ian Maatsen and Matteo Ruggeri are still injured.
"The rotation is coming when the players are ready to play in our demands. This is the only difference. We did some changes on Wednesday after the match we played on Saturday. We did some changes on Wednesday and the players responded as well.
"This is one step forward, clearly. How I am going to decide for tomorrow, maybe it's going in the same way, but I need to know how they are playing today because we played on Wednesday and the demand was high.

"Some players may be tired, some can feel some pain, not injuries but maybe pain.
"How we will play tomorrow with the starting XI players, I need time.
"Today, after our training session in the afternoon/evening, more or less, I'm going to clarify myself which players are ready for tomorrow and thinking to be, not 80%, to be 100%."
