Aston Villa will face West Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon in a mini derby as both clubs prepare for a return to action.
Dean Smith's Villa are second from bottom in the Premier League, while Slaven Bilic's Albion are second from top in the Championship.
Ordinarily fierce rivals and separated by just 11 miles, the two clubs have come together to organise a behind-closed-doors friendly.
Sportsmail understands the Baggies will be taking two teams and it may be that two one-hour matches are played, with a staff member refereeing.
