Premier League Tuesday Team News

Here are the team news for the games between Aston Villa and Liverpool as well as Bolton versus Hull.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool

Rafael Benitez must decide whether to continue with Alberto Aquilani in midfield as Liverpool travel to Aston Villa on Tuesday.

The Italian made his first Premier League start in Saturday's 2-0 win at Wolves but came off late in the game with a minor hamstring problem.

Benitez will also consider a recall for Holland forward Dirk Kuyt, who was rested for the Boxing Day victory, while Javier Mascherano misses out for the second game of a four-match suspension, while continuing his recovery from a knee injury.

Villa will be without suspended winger Ashley Young.

Young has started all 19 of Villa's league games to date this season but will have to serve a one-game ban after collecting his fifth yellow card of the campaign against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill has hinted he may make changes, particularly with Liverpool having an extra 24 hours to recover following their Boxing Day victory over Wolves.

The likes of John Carew, Nigel Reo-Coker, Habib Beye, James Collins, Steve Sidwell and Fabian Delph will come into the equation for possible starts against Rafael Benitez's side.

Teams:

Aston Villa (from): Friedel, Guzan, Luke Young, Beye, Dunne, Collins, Cuellar, Clark, Warnock, Milner, Petrov, Downing, Sidwell, Reo-Coker, Delph, Gardner, Agbonlahor, Carew, Heskey, Delfouneso, Albrighton.

Liverpool (from): Reina, Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Carragher, Aurelio, Insua, Benayoun, Gerrard, Lucas, Babel, Torres, Kuyt, Aquilani, Cavalieri, Ngog, Spearing, Darby, Pacheco, Dossena, Kyrgiakos.

Bolton vs Hull

Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba is available again for the Barclays Premier League match against Hull on Tuesday at the Reebok Stadium.

Muamba was forced to sit out the 1-1 draw against Burnley on Boxing Day as he was sidelined through suspension.

Midfielder Gavin McCann again looks likely to miss out as he is still suffering from an ankle injury.

Hull have a number of fitness concerns.

Defenders Paul McShane and Steven Mouyokolo are both still troubled by the hamstring injuries that ruled them out of the defeat by Manchester United.

Geovanni (knee) and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (shoulder) both suffered injuries in the 3-1 loss and will be assessed.

Midfielder Seyi Olofinjana is available after being given permission by Nigeria to delay his departure for the African Nations Cup but Gabon striker Daniel Cousin has left for the tournament in Angola.

Teams:

Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, Knight, Cahill, Robinson, Steinsson, Cohen, Taylor, Gardner, Muamba, Lee, K Davies, Klasnic, Basham, A O'Brien, Al Habsi, Samuel, Elmander, M Davies, Ricketts.

Hull (from): Myhill, Mendy, Zayatte, Gardner, Dawson, Garcia, Olofinjana, Boateng, Hunt, Fagan, Altidore, McShane, Mouyokolo, Kilbane, Marney, Barmby, Cairney, Ghilas, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Duke.
