Remi Garde: Aston Villa players better not be naughty at Christmas

Manager Remi Garde has cautioned Aston Villa’s players about letting their hair down at Christmas.

The Villa Park chief wants his squad to be professional and focused ahead of a key period in their survival fight.

They go to Southampton tomorrow seven points adrift from the safety line in the Premier League with Jack Grealish still in exile from the first team after he was pictured partying following last month’s 4-0 defeat at Everton.
