Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey is struggling to be fit for the home Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester United.
Heskey suffered a groin injury during Saturday's goalless draw at Tottenham and, although a scan revealed no major damage, Villa boss Martin O'Neill rates the England striker "doubtful'' to face the Red Devils even though he is included in the squad.
John Carew could replace Heskey in the starting line-up after recovering from a knee problem and coming on as a substitute at White Hart Lane. Left-back Stephen Warnock (ankle) is still unavailable as Villa attempt to complete their first league double over United for 55 years.
And O'Neill will be content for his side to adapt a cautious approach against United.

Veteran duo Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are set for recalls as Manchester United look to maintain their Premier League title push. The pair did not even make the bench for Saturday's 5-0 demolition of Portsmouth, which suggests they will face Martin O'Neill's men.
Rio Ferdinand is suspended, while Nemanja Vidic has an outside chance of being involved for the first time this year after suffering a nerve problem in his leg last month.

With most of his players fit and match-ready, Sir Alex Ferguson has got a lot of names to choose from for his starting XI.

Why is Martin O'Neill ''highly regarded'' for 4x sake.

His team has been a shambles since United went one down.

How the 4k won't United have so much possesion when your
team is spread out wide all over the place.

And to make it worse, he has insisted on using the lone striker
who can't get a hold of the ball.

I am not surprised anyway. . . .

Bloody villa have always been regular rape victims of United.

Why is Wenger highly regarded for 4ks sake?

^^^^^^^^^^^^ Trophies Baby Trophies

Nani is a dim wit. He could have broken the player's leg.

Which stupid trophies? Martin O'Neill has won as many titles as Arsene Wenger.

He got the ball. . . . .That was a horrible decision from the referee.
If that was Gerrard making such tackle, he wouldn't have been sent off!!!

~Sauron~:

Which silly trophies? Martin O'Neill has won as many titles as Arsene Wenger.

Which stupid trophies has O'neill won? Is it the 3rd rate carling cup or the 2nd rate scotish league?

Nah the ref made the right decision. That was a leg breker. You won't be saying he got the ball had he connected properly.

I wish I could hang O'Neill on a stake, after impaling him and after
stabbing him in the brain with his nosebone.

At 4king last. . . .He has put Carew on.

A league victory is a league victory.
U can only beat what is put in front of you. . . . .Did O'Neill not get into the UEFA cup final against Porto in 2003?

Nah the ref made the right decision. That was a leg breker. You won't be saying he got the ball had he connected properly.

The referee is a homer, abeg.
Nani got the ball cleanly and he went with one foot, not two.

Villa pls. . . . Bleep up united. Pls

Why is Fergie persisting with Giggsy.
Take Giggsy off for Park!!!

Cus his yet to work his gigs magic, . .lol

He forced the own goal but he is getting bullied by the Villa players.

All these EPL clubs are modelling United with playing 3 CBs in their 4-man defence.
Collins, Cuella and Dunne are all centre-backs so breaking em is a tough task and it's even tougher when you are doing it with 10 players.

No mind am jare. Not only are they playing against ten men,they are also at home but still he insists on playing the 4-5-1 formation?

If a victory is a victory, he might as well equate winning the premier league to winning the swedish league
Also correct me if i'm wrong but didn't he fail to win the Uefa Cup(which by the way shoulda been his only kwarect trophy)?
