Wayne Rooney will expect to be named in the Manchester United starting XI for the first time since injuring a knee on 13 February in the 2-1 defeat at Sunderland. If he does not, expect a prolonged inquest into why. Especially as Aston Villa could be relegated at the final whistle, so are ideal opponents for the captain to ease his way back into the fray from the start. Jamie Jackson
