Man City keeper Given rates Villa top four challenger

Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given rates tonight's opponents Aston Villa as a top four threat.

Given told City's website: "Martin O'Neill has done a great job there, they came close to doing that last year. He's built up a great squad and added some good players to it recently. They will definitely be challenging that top four.

"Set-plays are one of Aston Villa's strongest points, there's Carew, Dunnie, Collins and a few other big guys who like to get in and attack the ball. Milner, Agbonlahor and Milner can deliver good balls into the box as well, so it's an area they are good at."
