Aston Villa v Rapid Vienna preview
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Striker John Carew could return to action for Aston Villa's home clash against Rapid Vienna as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit.[LNB] Villa will be looking to take momentum into their second round Europa League match after their 3-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield on Monday - and they could be buoyed by the return of Carew.[LNB]The Norway international has not featured this season because of injury and Martin O'Neill will be hoping he can make an impact against the Austrian outfit.[LNB]However, the Villa boss may be without in-form winger Ashley Young who twisted his knee in the game at Anfield, while defender Luke Young is unlikely to feature after a spell of compassionate leave.[LNB]The Midlands side conceded after just 16 seconds in the first leg in Austria, and will have to be wary of conceding an away goal if they are going to progress to the group stages of the competition.[LNB]Martin O'Neill told Villa's official website: "Rapid are a very decent side and they have a number of players capable of causing problems.[LNB]"Not scoring away from home is obviously a handicap too and we have to be very careful. We might have to score a few goals ourselves to try and do it, but we can overturn it."[LNB]Meanwhile, Rapid will be without defender Milan Jovanovic who is sidelined with a knee problem.[LNB]
