Team has now been officially confirmed as unchanged from the Blues starting line up, no surprise there.

Friedel

Cuellar
Dunne
Collins
Warnock

Young
Milner
Petrov
Downing

Carew
Gabby

SUBS: L Young, Delfouneso, Guzan, Beye, Sidwell, Heskey, Reo-Coker

Big game today for Carew in particular maybe one of his last in a Villa shirt and we need a huge performance from him.

Most nervous I have been for a game all season, this means more than any other one

Man City team news for what we care is Garath Barry is out after speculation of an injury, good news for us that Viera is playing I think.
