Team News
Sir Alex Ferguson intends to recall Paul Scholes to his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League encounter with Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Scholes was rested for Wednesday's defeat at Wigan, which saw United's lead at the top cut to five points.

Ferguson reports no fresh injury concerns from the DW Stadium setback, which ended an impressive eight-match winning run.

Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish will check on the fitness of Chris Herd and Stephen Warnock ahead of Sunday's trip to Old Trafford.

Herd suffered a head injury during Monday's 1-1 draw with Stoke while Warnock was substituted with an ankle problem.

Charles N'Zogbia and Gary Gardner will be in contention to replace the duo if ruled out.

Midfielder Fabian Delph has returned to training after his ankle injury when on loan at Leeds while winger Marc Albrighton is battling to overcome a thigh problem.

Match Notes
By the time United face Villa, their advantage at the top of the Premier League could be cut to two points.

Their record against Villa suggests they should not worry.

Then again they had beaten Wigan in 13 previous meetings before losing at the DW Stadium.

However, Villa are struggling to name a team and manager Alex McLeish will not expect much from this trip, especially as United are at their most lethal when wounded.

Richvkunt: Very funny.
Do you really believe United are gonna drop points again?
United are going to win this Title.
I know the haters are hoping the Title will be decided at the Etihad stadium,but they need to realise that match is a derby game between two rivals from the same city,so anything can happen in that game.In fact I would not put it beyond United to go to Citys ground and get a result!
Remember that!
