Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has suggested that it will be difficult to leave Scott Sinclair out of his side this weekend following the player's hat-trick in the Capital One Cup.
The 26-year-old was named on the bench for Villa's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend.
However, he was given a starring role in Tuesday's 5-3 triumph over Notts County in the second round of the League Cup.
"When you take a lot of goals out of your side, you have to take a look around your club and see what goals are left," Sherwood told the club's official website.
"Scott Sinclair is a goalscorer. He scored me a few last season. We might just need to find him a place in your team at some stage. Every day his finishing is top drawer."
Villa will face Sunderland this weekend.
