Lawrence 'desperate' to face Villa

The veteran centre-half, only recently recalled to the first team after being transfer-listed earlier in the season, missed Tuesday night's defeat by Swansea with a hamstring injury.Lawrence is likely to need a late fitness test but is determined to be ready for the Selhurst Park clash."The injury isn't too bad so I'm desperate to be fit and back in the team," he said."It's going to be a huge occasion for everyone at the club."
