Osho starts with Barkley recalled as Luton make three changes for Villa trip

Premier League: Aston Villa v Luton Town

Hatters defender Gabe Osho has been handed his Premier League debut after being named in the starting line-up against Aston Villa this afternoon, one of three changes made by Luton boss Rob Edwards.

The centre half comes in for Reece Burke who suffered a hamstring injury against Nottingham Forest recently.

Issa Kabore and former Villa midfielder Ross Barkley were both also recalled, with Tahith Chong and Pelly Ruddock-Mpanzu dropping to the bench.
