Aston Villa v Manchester United, Kick Off 17.30, Live on ESPN

Team News;

Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov will return to the side after missing the draw at Swansea last weekend with a tight hamstring.

Emile Heskey is set to make his 500th Premier League appearance - becoming only the sixth player to reach this milestone.

Dimitar Berbatov will miss out with an ankle injury, while twins Rafael and Fabio da Silva are also sidelined.

Forward Danny Welbeck is a doubt with a muscle strain.

Possible line ups;

When is Clev back?

If City beat Norwich this is a must win.

Good starting line up, most had the rest during the week if not all?

Decent selection from Villa, shaking it up a bit. Where is N'Zog?

MagicMarker · 03-12-2011 4:48pm

Jones and Carrick in the middle, interesting.

Nothing said about him, must be either injured or just dropped!

With Rooney to drop into the midfield and catch them on the counter, smash and grab win will do today.

enviro · 03-12-2011 4:52pm

Happy with that Utd team. Jones in the middle will be one to watch.

Blatter · 03-12-2011 4:59pm

At least Villa look like they want to play a bit of football with that team selection.

Albrighton, Bannan, Bent and Agbonlahor are good footballers. Half of them didn't play in the Spurs game where Villa were awful.

It'll be interesting to see how Jones does in a two man midfield beside Carrick.

Any win will do today.

steelcityblues · 03-12-2011 5:00pm

How long will Fergie continue with the lone striker? Starting to annoy me.

Samich · 03-12-2011 5:08pm

Feel ok with Lindegaard in goal, no worries there.

Liking the sound of Jones in midfield.

Cantona's Collars · 03-12-2011 5:09pm

Need a win,any kind of win.City hit 5 against Norwich so we can't afford to drop any points this evening or they'll start to open up too big of a gap very very quickly.
Rooney having to drop into midfield shows just how light we are there.This needs to be a top priority that needs to be fixed.

Samich · 03-12-2011 5:11pm

Also so glad to see Valencia on the bench. He's so one dimensional. Bring him on when you need a change in the last 25 mins.

MagicMarker · 03-12-2011 5:13pm

OMG Rooney's in the studio!

Paully D · 03-12-2011 5:16pm

Hoping for a Manchester United win. McLeish will try and bore them to death, but they'll win 2-0 IMO.

Doodee · 03-12-2011 5:19pm

One of the best streams I've ever seen thanks

closeline · 03-12-2011 5:25pm

Must say I am worried about this game. United lucky to get the 1-0 wins in the last few weeks. Eventually got caught last week and Wednesday night was another poor display. (I know almost different players). If United win I will be absolutely delighted. Not too confident. Once again centre midfield looks poor.

Benny Cake · 03-12-2011 5:27pm

Is Lindegaard in goal purely a form decision or is De Gea carrying a knock?

flahavaj · 03-12-2011 5:28pm

A lot of pace in that Villa line up and more offensive than McLeish has set them up usually. Tough game.

IamtheWalrus · 03-12-2011 5:28pm

Anyone got a sopcast stream?

DDG is being rested for Wednesday - according to SAF

whichever it is Fergie just claimed he is resting De Gea with Lindegaard in form but to expect De Gea in the wed game

Quandary · 03-12-2011 5:29pm

Very worried about this game tbh.

It has been 2 months since United last scored more than 1 goal in a Premier League game apparently.

It's just rotation. He always gives Lindegaard the odd game to keep him happy.

Some keeper to have as a number two as well.

Josey Wales · 03-12-2011 5:37pm

I missed what the commentators said about N'Zogbia. What did he do?

Crossed the halfway line whilst McLeish is manager.

Anyone else hate the ESPN commentry team as much as me?

Blatter · 03-12-2011 5:41pm

Another injury.

Ugh.

everdead.ie · 03-12-2011 5:41pm

There has been a bunch of players recently that have injured themselves this season. maybe studs need to be made shorter

DOC09UNAM · 03-12-2011 5:42pm

Cock

Josey Wales · 03-12-2011 5:42pm

Hernandez has been very unlucky this season with injury.

Necronomicon · 03-12-2011 5:42pm

Looked a painful one.
