Villa duo missing for Cup clash

Aston Villa will be without midfielder Stiliyan Petrov and right-back Luke Young for tomorrow’s home Carling Cup clash with Burnley.

Nigel Reo-Coker is favourite to take over the captain’s armband from Petrov, who is expected to be out for at least two months with a knee problem, while Steve Sidwell is poised for a rare start in midfield.
