Agbonlahor out for Villa

Aston Villa will be without joint top scorer Gabriel Agbonlahor for the home Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday.

Agbonlahor, who has five goals this season, will have to serve a one-match suspension after picking up five yellow cards this season. Emile Heskey is in contention to partner Darren Bent up front.

Midfielder Fabian Delph is available after missing last weekend’s victory at Bolton with a knee injury. Defender Eric Lichaj (hip) is Villa’s only long-term casualty.

Provisional squad: Guzan, Hutton, Cuellar, Collins, Dunne, Clark, Warnock, Beye, Herd, Delph, Bannan, Petrov, Ireland, Albrighton, Bent, Heskey, Delfouneso, N’Zogbia, Weimann, Marshall.
