[LNB]Fitness race: Davies has a couple of days to recover[LNB]Aston Villa central defender Curtis Davies is doubtful for Monday's Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool at Anfield after a recurrence of his shoulder problem. [LNB]Davies suffered the setback during the latter stages of the Europa League clash away to Rapid Vienna and his replacement, rookie Shane Lowry, is amongst the candidates to replace him although Habib Beye could switch from right-back. [LNB]Villa boss Martin O'Neill will also be hoping striker John Carew is fit to make his first appearance of the season - the Norwegian missed the home league reversal by Wigan with a foot injury and then pulled out of the Vienna game with a virus. [LNB]Provisional squad: Friedel, Guzan, Beye, Cuellar, Davies, Lowry, Shorey, Gardner, Milner, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Sidwell, A. Young, Heskey, Agbonlahor, Carew, Clark, Albrighton, Delfouneso, Delph.  [LNB]CLICK HERE FOR THE REST OF THE TEAM NEWS IN THE BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE[LNB]  Explore more:People:John Carew, Martin O'NeillPlaces:Liverpool, Vienna
