Zat Knight is poised to make his first start of 2008, for the visit of Middlesbrough to Villa Park. The central defender is set to replace Curtis Davies who ruptured his Achilles during the 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates.
Olof Mellberg could return to the side after an ankle problem and Nigel Reo-Coker should also be available despite being troubled by a back problem against the Gunners.
Jeremie Aliadiere will complete his four-match ban as Middlesbrough look to bounce back from their FA Cup defeat to Cardiff.
Andrew Taylor is back in training with the reserves after a foot injury, while Brad Jones and Seb Hines are sidelined.

Chelsea v Derby County, 8pm
Avram Grant must decide whether to recall Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba for the visit of Derby County.
Both missed the shock FA cup quarter-final defeat by Barnsley but Lampard should have recovered from his slight thigh strain to be included.
Petr Cech is still sidelined with an ankle injury so Carlo Cudicini is expected to continue as number one.
Paul Jewell could hand a recall to Robbie Savage, the Derby captain, for the trip to Stamford Bridge, after the Welsh midfielder was dropped for the 0-0 draw with Sunderland.
Dean Leacock could return to the side after a hip problem but Giles Barnes has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
Craig Fagan has joined former club Hull City on loan until the end of the season and Claude Davis and Tyrone Mears are long-term absentees.
Chelsea (from): Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, Belletti, Terry, Carvalho, Ben-Haim, Alex, Bridge, A Cole, Lampard, Essien, Makelele, Sidwell, Ballack, Obi, J Cole, Pizarro, Shevchenko, Drogba, Kalou, Wright-Phillips, Malouda, Anelka.

Portsmouth will however, be missing Noe Pamarot, David Nugent and long-term absentee Linvoy Primus.
Alex McLeish has no fresh injury worries ahead of tomorrow's match with FA Cup favourites Portsmouth.
Olivier Kapo is still ruled out with a hamstring problem and Martin Taylor serves the second of a three-match ban for his sending-off against Arsenal.
McLeish is unlikely to make any changes from the side which beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 at St Andrews 10 days ago as City aim to extend their unbeaten run to five games.
Portsmouth (from): James, Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Diop, Diarra, Mendes, Davis, Muntari, Utaka, Kranjcar, Kanu, Defoe, Baros, Ashdown, Lauren, Mvuemba, Hughes.

They were joined by Kevin Davies, Matt Taylor, Andy O’Brien, Ivan Campo, El Hadji Diouf and Ricardo Gardner, as manager Gary Megson’s priority is Sunday’s Barclays Premier League match at Wigan Athletic.
