Aston Villa will keep a close eye on Gabriel Agbonlahor after he picked up a virus ahead of Sunday's crucial clash with Everton at Villa Park.Agbonlahor, who ended his recent scoring drought against Manchester United last weekend, was sent home ill from training on Friday but Villa will hope to have him involved against the Toffees.Carlos Cuellar is suffering from a back problem and, if he is ruled out, then Zat Knight could earn a recall alongside Curtis Davies.Emile Heskey, skipper Martin Laursen and Wilfred Bouma are still side-lined through injury as Villa look to end a run of nine games without a victory.Villa (from): Friedel, Guzan, L Young, Davies, Knight, Cuellar, Shorey, Milner, Barry, Sidwell, Petrov, A Young, Reo-Coker, Gardner, Carew, Agbonlahor, Delfouneso.
