Tim Sherwood wants no regrets from FA Cup semi-final

Tim Sherwood has told his Aston Villa team to avoid repeating his mistake and make sure they leave Wembley with no regrets in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final with Liverpool.

The Villans head into tomorrow's clash as big underdogs to upset the Reds and advance into the final on May 30.

Sherwood, a two-time losing semi-finalist with Totteham Hotspur in 1999 and 2001, is hopeful that his charges relish the occasion rather than leave the field thinking what could have been.

"I know what the occasion brings - it's about keeping the players calm and making sure they don't get beaten by the occasion," he told a press conference.

"There's a lot of regrets about losing in the semi-final. I know that because I've played there before and lost. I don't want them to have any regrets after the game.

"It's not a great feeling when you lose but we're going there in a positive frame of mine. We're going there looking for glory for this football club."

Arsenal or Reading, who square off this evening, will await the winner of Villa's clash with Liverpool.
