O'Neill to make changes

Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill is set to make changes for tomorrow’s UEFA Cup meeting with Slavia Prague in the Czech capital.

The match comes only three days after Villa were beaten 2-0 at Newcastle and O’Neill intends to give some of his fringe players a chance.

Midfielders Stiliyan Petrov and James Milner miss out through injury while Marlon Harewood has not travelled after the birth of his child last night.

Team (from): Friedel, L Young, Laursen, Knight, Davies, Cuellar, Shorey, Routledge, Reo-Coker, Sidwell, Barry, A Young, Carew, Agbonlahor, Gardner, Salifou, Guzan.
