Aston Villa will have their first choice goalkeeper available for the trip to Old Trafford after the international break, after Brad Friedel's red card against Liverpool was rescinded.

The dismissal came when Villa were already trailing by four goals to nil, and looked to have ended the American veteran's record breaking consecutive run of Premier League appearances.

The FA however, in a move unlikely to please Sir Alex Ferguson have ruled that referee Martin Atkinson's decision was incorrect.
