Marc Albrighton: 'Aston Villa excited by busy Christmas'

Aston Villa winger Marc Albrighton has revealed that the squad is looking forward to a busy fixture list over Christmas.

The Villans suffered a second consecutive defeat in the Premier League on Sunday as they went down 3-0 against Manchester United.

However, Albrighton insists that the players are raring to go ahead of four games in 12 days.

"We now want to go again and get another game and put this game right," he told the club's official website. "We are certainly looking forward the festive period of games."

Villa continue their Premier League campaign on Saturday when they face Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium.
