John Moncur has lost his battle against fitness for the trip to Aston Villa - which almost certainly hands a second start to 20 year old Richard Garcia in central midfield.

With Steve Lomas and Don Hutchison both missing of course, Moncs would have been able to bring his experience to the engine room, but has not recovered from the leg injury he received last weekend.

Trevor Sinclair, Sebastien Schemmel, and Paolo Di Canio are all back after suspension while Laurent Courtois also returns to the travelling party.

SQUAD: James, Hislop, Andersson, Pearce, Repka, Dailly, Schemmel, Winterburn, Cole, Sinclair, Garcia, Di Canio, Kanoute, Defoe, Kitson, Labant, Minto, McCann, Courtois.
