Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey faces a race against time to be fit for Manchester United's visit to Villa Park on Wednesday.
The England international suffered a groin strain in the goalless draw with Tottenham at the weekend and Villa boss Martin O'Neill has admitted Heskey may be forced to sit out the test against the reigning champions.
If Heskey fails to recover John Carew looks set to replace him in the Villa attack after recovering from a knee problem.
