John Gregory has made it clear that his main priority, with Villa playing Chelsea twice in the space of 3 days, is the league game on Saturday.

He has not made a secret of the fact, however insists he still wants to win the cup game tomorrow as well.

He plans to give a rest to those players unable to yet have a rest, including Gareth Southgate who hasn't missed a Villa game, as well as playing in England's recent games. The other main players are Gareth Barry, Paul Merson, Stan Collymore with an injury, with possibly Ehiogu being rested as well.

This could mean Villa's attack being lead by Julian Joachim and Darius Vassal, with Draper, Grayson and Scimeca also set to start.
