Davies only man missing for Villa

Only Curtis Davies remains on the sidelines due to a lack of match fitness after recovering from a dislocated shoulder. O'Neill is expected to field a strong side for the match at Ewood Park, with goalkeeper Brad Guzan likely to continue his run of cup appearances in place of regular number one Brad Friedel. Villa (from): Friedel, Guzan, L Young, Beye, Dunne, Cuellar, Collins, Warnock, A Young, Milner, Petrov, Downing, Reo-Coker, Sidwell, Delph, Agbonlahor, Heskey, Carew, Delfouneso, Clark, Albrighton.
