Dean Smith has challenged his Aston Villa players to take full advantage of Dwight Gayle's absence when his side travel to West Brom on Tuesday.
Gayle was sent off during Villa's 2-1 win in the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final final at the weekend.
He put West Brom into the lead before Conor Hourihane's equaliser and Tammy Abraham's winning penalty.
