No new injury worries for Villa

Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the Barclays Premier League clash with Fulham tomorrow as his side seek their first home win since early December.

Striker Darren Bent (ankle), defender Richard Dunne (collarbone) and midfielder Fabian Delph (ankle) are all long-term casualties while utility player Ciaran Clark continues to make good progress in his recovery from a knee setback.

McLeish is considering naming an unchanged side after being impressed with the performance, particularly during the opening 45 minutes, in last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Blackburn.

Provisional squad: Given, Guzan, Hutton, Lichaj, Collins, Cuellar, Warnock, Baker, Bannan, Petrov, Ireland, Albrighton, Agbonlahor, Heskey, N’Zogbia, Herd, Weimann, Marshall, Johnson, Gardner, Stevens, Delfouneso.
