Barry poser for Villa's Iceland trip
Barry: Decision for O'Neill
Fielding England midfielder Barry in the second qualifying round, first-leg tie in Iceland would almost certainty deliver the final blow to his crumbling hopes of an £18million move to Liverpool.
Barry came on as a 14th-minute substitute against Odense in the previous round and if he keeps his place against FH, he would not be eligible to play European football for Liverpool until February.
With Nigel Reo-Coker, Stiliyan Petrov, Wayne Routledge and Shaun Maloney all available, O'Neill does not need Barry against the Icelandic league leaders.
But Steve Sidwell is out with a thigh injury and other new signings Carlos Cuellar and Luke Young are ineligible until the next round even though left-back Nicky Shorey has been added as the one player allowed after the UEFA deadline and looks a certain starter.
Kick-off is at 7pm BST.
Villa (from): Friedel, Gardner, Laursen, Knight, Shorey, Reo-Coker, Barry, Petrov, A Young, Routledge, Barry, Maloney, Osbourne, Carew, Agbonlahor, Salifou, Harewood, Davies, O'Halloran, Taylor.
