Villa striker John Carew is possibly the man most likely to unsettle the Bulgarians, he was on the score sheet yet again at the weekend in the Premier League victory over Sunderland and has helped Villa to climb to third place in the League, having won four and drawing one of their six matches so far. With Ashley Young in great form on the left flank, and the whole team playing really well, Villa should have enough about them not to stumble in this match and should get through comfortably. It will be interesting to see if manager, Martin O'Neill starts with big signing, James Milner, who will give Villa an extra dimension from the other flank.

Villa are 2/9 to win this match, while Litex are around 14/1. The draw can be backed at 11/2.
