Nathan Baker confident ahead of Arsenal clash

Aston Villa defender Nathan Baker believes that his side are capable of beating any team in the Premier League after their 1-0 win at Liverpool last weekend.

An early goal from Gabriel Agbonlahor was enough to see Villa end the weekend in second place, and ahead of their home match with Arsenal on Saturday, Baker has insisted that the West Midlands team are improving with each game.

The 23-year-old is quoted by the Birmingham Mail as saying: "We are getting stronger and stronger. We have a lot more experience in the team and it is paying off.

"This is the start of a hard spell and hopefully we can carry on with the confidence that we have. We have done it at Anfield so why can't we do it at Villa Park? If we can beat Liverpool, we can beat anyone."

Baker has made 74 appearances in all competitions at Villa Park.
