Aston Villa v Tottenham


Villa Park
Sunday, 2 May
Kick-off: 1500
Referee:

Neale Barry (Lincolnshire)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aston Villa have doubts over Darius Vassell, who has a hamstring strain, and ankle injury victim Gareth Barry.

Peter Crouch and Peter Whittingham are on stand-by to come into the team, while midfielder Lee Hendrie is completing a two-match suspension.

Tottenham will be hoping striker Robbie Keane recovers from the head injury he sustained in last weekend's derby draw with Arsenal.

Defender Steve Carr serves the final game of a three-match suspension.
