Christian Benteke is made to wait for his Aston Villa debut, with the striker being named as a substitute for the visit of Swansea City.

Paul Lambert has named striker Christian Benteke on the Aston Villa bench for the visit of Swansea City this afternoon.

Reports earlier in the week suggested that Benteke may partner Darren Bent in attack but that role has been given to Andreas Weimann.

Shay Given is once again amongst the substitutes for the hosts, with Brad Guzan keeping his place in goal.

Swansea will be hoping to continue their impressive start to the season at Villa Park and Michu, who has scored four goals already this campaign, will provide support to Danny Graham.

Aston Villa: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Lichaj, Holman, El Ahmadi, Ireland, Bannan, Weimann, Bent

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Tate, Williams, Davies, Britton, DeGuzman, Michu, Routledge, Dyer, Graham
