United trio are banned

MANCHESTER United will be without Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes and Nemanja Vidic for Sunday’s home Premier League game against Aston Villa.

The trio, who are all banned, leave the Reds light as they bid to end a run of two successive league defeats.

Striker Emile Heskey will be an absentee from the Midlands team after being injured on England duty against Slovakia last weekend.

CITY will face an Arsenal side at the Emirates Stadium reinforced by the returns of three of their big guns, Cesc Fabregas, Emmanuel Adebayor and Theo Walcott.

Striker Craig Bellamy is again ruled out of the City team through a knee injury.
