Villa waiting on Heskey fitness
Heskey suffered an ankle injury after coming on as a substitute during the second half of Saturday's 2-0 home success over Portsmouth.
Martin O'Neill is set to make changes for the game and Nigel Reo-Coker could be involved after being axed for the Pompey match following a training ground spat with the Northern Irishman.
The likes of Nicky Shorey, Craig Gardner, Habib Beye, Fabian Delph, Brad Guzan and Nathan Delfouneso may also get a starting spot against David Jones' side.
Villa (from): Friedel, Guzan, Cuellar, Beye, Clark, Dunne, Collins, Lowry, Warnock, Shorey, Milner, Gardner, Petrov, Delph, Sidwell, Reo-Coker, A. Young, Carew, Agbonlahor, Delfouneso, Heskey.
Aston Villa 2/5, Draw 10/3, Cardiff 11/2
