Heskey set for Villa comeback, Clark suspended

Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey will return after a seven-game absence for tomorrow’s home Barclays Premier League derby clash with West Brom, but Republic of Ireland midfielder Ciaran Clark is banned after collecting his fifth yellow card of the campaign against the Reds.

The former England player has been sidelined with a knee problem since the goalless draw against Birmingham at Villa Park in late October.
