O’Leary keen to banish Villa’s relegation fears

ASTON VILLA manager David O’Leary is refusing to take Premiership safety for granted on the eve of tomorrow’s crunch local derby away to West Brom.

Villa are only eight points clear of third from bottom Birmingham whom they face a week tomorrow.

With just one win in nine games, the pressure is on Villa but O’Leary is at pains to try to keep calm in what could be a difficult situation.
