Taylor in line for Villa chance

Stuart Taylor will make only his third appearance of the season for Aston Villa in the home Barclays Premiership clash with Manchester City tomorrow.

The former Arsenal keeper will replace Thomas Sorensen, who will be out action for two to three weeks with the knee ligament damage suffered against Middlesbrough at the weekend.

Striker Milan Baros is also in strong contention to make a rare start after impressing as a substitute against Boro especially with Chris Sutton still side-lined with his calf injury.

Villa will be looking to chalk up their first victory against City since August 2002 when a goal from Darius Vassell – now at Eastlands – settled the issue.

Team (from): Taylor, Olejnik, Mellberg, Hughes, Cahill, Ridgewell, Bouma, Samuel, Agbonlahor, Petrov, Davis, McCann, Osbourne, Barry, Whittingham, Agathe, Baros, Angel, Gardner.
