Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill could recall Gabriel Agbonlahor to the starting line up when they take on Wigan tonight.
The striker missed the FA Cup clash against Reading through illness and was then left out of the side that drew with Stoke at the weekend as John Carew and Emile Heskey kept their places in attack.
However, Villa's leading goalscorer is expected to return at the DW Stadium as O'Neill admits he will have to rotate his squad over the coming weeks.
"It will be a busy spell for us ahead," O'Neill revealed. "I know that and we have to be up for the task. It's all about recovery in between games and that is the most important element of it all.
"But the main point over the next few weeks, with games coming thick and fast, and a semi-final to prepare for, is I will be very surprised indeed if we don't have to make a number of changes in the team."
