Keeper Given set for recall in cup clash

Former Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given is set to be recalled for Aston Villa in tomorrow's Capital One Cup encounter with Swindon at the County Ground.

Villa left-back Joe Bennett will be suspended. He will have to serve a one-game ban for his sending-off for two bookable offences in Saturday's 1-1 home draw with Norwich in the Premier League.

Striker Darren Bent will be in contention to return to the starting line-up against Paolo Di Canio's side but winger Charles N'Zogbia is facing a spell on the sidelines with knee ligament damage suffered in training last week.

Villa (provisional squad): Guzan, Given, Lowton, Lichaj, Clark, Vlaar, Baker, Herd, El Ahmadi, Ireland, Westwood, Bannan, Delph, Holman, Bent, Agbonlahor, Benteke, Bowery, Weimann, Burke, Johnson, Williams.
