Aston Villa hope to have strikers Gabriel Agbonlahor and Emile Heskey available for Sunday's clash with Burnley at Villa Park. Agbonlahor missed last weekend's FA Cup tie at Crystal Palace with the leg injury he picked up in the Premier League game against Manchester United. Heskey was forced off against Palace with a groin problem but both he and Agbonlahor have been able to train this week. Captain Stiliyan Petrov will retain his starting role as he continues to battle against nagging ankle and Achilles problems. Full-back Stephen Warnock should also continue after making his comeback from a shin injury against Palace. | |||||

Burnley defender Leon Cort is expected to be fit for Sunday's clash. Cort, signed from Stoke last month, was forced off with a groin injury in the Clarets' 3-0 defeat at Fulham 10 days ago. Veteran Graham Alexander, missing for the last three weeks with a calf problem, is rated 50-50 to return. Stephen Jordan (hamstring) and Chris McCann (knee) could come back into contention but Steven Caldwell (groin) is still sidelined. | |||||
