City target Milner in Villa squad

Manchester City target Aston Villa midfielder James Milner has been named in Aston Villa's squad to play West Ham on Saturday. City are believed to be offering a player-plus-cash deal involving Stephen Ireland to meet Villa's £30million valuation of the England midfielder. But caretaker-manager Kevin MacDonald, in charge since the resignation of manager Martin O'Neill, has named Milner to face the Hammers.
