Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood targets strong run of form

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood wants to escape from the battle at the bottom before the end of the season.

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood believes that this season's relegation battle will go down to the last weekend of the season.

Villa sit three points clear of the drop zone and Sherwood hopes that a strong run of form can see them avoid a nervous final few weeks of the season.

He told reporters: "I think it'll be a photo finish and I hope we're not in it. We're probably just coming around the corner but it's probably the longest run-in in racing history.

"All we're looking at is the next fence and that's Sunderland. After that we hope we can stay in the running, there might be a few who fall along the way and we're hoping that's not us."

Villa have won just six games all season.
