Cuellar blow for Villa

Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar has been ruled out of tomorrow evening’s clash with Manchester United at Villa Park.

The former Rangers defender suffered a thigh injury during the 2-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.

Luke Young is expected to revert to right-back with Nicky Shorey returning to the side on the opposite flank.

Villa manager Martin O’Neill has no other fresh injury worries as his side look to win a league meeting with United for the first time in 13 years.

Villa (from): Friedel, Guzan, L Young, Shorey, Davies, Laursen, Knight, Milner, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Barry, A Young, Osbourne, Salifou, Carew, Agbonlahor, Harewood, Delfouneso, Gardner.
