New signing Glenn Whelan has been handed the number six shirt, while James Chester will wear five after it was vacated by Henri Lansbury, who will instead wear eight.

Captain John Terry will wear the number 26 shirt, as he did at Chelsea, while fellow centre back Chris Samba will don four.

The full list of squad numbers are available on [the Villa website](“https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2017/08/02/squad-list-2017-18”).
