Premier League roundup: Tim Sherwood not panicking after poor start

Tim Sherwood dismissed fears over Aston Villa’s stuttering start after their second straight derby defeat.

He insisted there was no need to panic after their 1-0 home defeat to West Brom. Saido Berahino scored a first-half winner on his return to the Baggies starting line-up for the first time following his strike threat earlier this month.

Villa host fierce rivals Birmingham in the Capital One Cup tomorrow but Sherwood remains unconcerned after winning four points from their first six games.
