Alex McLeish has vowed to do everything in his power to ensure Stiliyan Petrov is fit for Aston Villa's Barclays Premier League game against Swansea on Monday. Captain Petrov limped off after scoring in Saturday's shock 3-1 win at Chelsea and manager McLeish was planning to pull out all the stops to ensure he did not miss Villa's first match of 2012. Darren Bent could start after netting on his return from injury as a substitute at Stamford Bridge, while fellow forward Emile Heskey may be on the bench having shaken off an Achilles problem. | |||||

Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers is likely to make several changes to his starting line-up. Rodgers made six changes to his side for Saturday's draw with Tottenham, and is likely to again freshen up his starting line-up as they face the challenge of playing twice in 48 hours. Loan signing Steven Caulker was ineligible to face his parent club on Saturday but is set to come in for Garry Monk, while Danny Graham and Leon Britton are in line to replace Luke Moore and Stephen Dobbie. Full-back Angel Rangel could also start after featuring off the bench against Spurs. | |||||
