Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish has to decide whether to pick Chris Herd and James Collins for Sunday's game with Tottenham.

The pair and team-mate Fabian Delph have been disciplined by the club for their part in a nightclub fracas during the early hours of Tuesday morning which followed Villa's annual awards dinner.
The players have apologised for their actions, but McLeish was very unhappy about the unwelcome attention it has brought.
He said: "It's a slur on the club. I feel for (club owner) Randy Lerner and the fans of Aston Villa Football Club but the players need to show some respect for themselves and the football club."
The trio were fined for their conduct, although it is understood Delph was treated more leniently after acting as peacemaker in the incident.
McLeish added: "We knew about it on Tuesday and some players broke the rules so we acted very swiftly on Tuesday. We're very disappointed."
