The Villans are awaiting the derby against Birmingham hoping to get a good result so they can keep going up on the table after a bad result at Sunderland. Carlos Cuellar’s team has beaten Burnley in the Carling Cup and they aim to keep the same pace against a opponent that if they win they would get over their rivals on the table.
The truth is for Villa previous results against their neighbours are encouraging. In the last six games Houllier’s side has won so they have became the blues bête noir. Also Carlos Cuellar is hoping to get a victory over ex-Sporting de Gijon Michel and Zigic, well known in La Liga after playing for Racing and Valencia.
Aston Villa gets back Young and Carew from injury although they could not count with Agbonlahor and Petrov both injured and Albrighton suspended his replacement will be Ashley Young. Good news for Birmingham, they have Gardner back after been suspended for three games.
