Gloved up: Carew celebrates his equaliser against CSKA[LNB] John Carew believes the cold poses more of a threat to Aston Villa's[LNB]UEFA Cup chances than opponents CSKA Moscow. [LNB]The big Norway striker, who knows all about dropping temperatures, believes the Premier League's away-day specialists will not be daunted by a trip to the Russian capital. [LNB]Zico's side head into next week's second leg as favourites following their 1-1 draw in which the outstanding Vagner Love scored an away goal. But Villa have triumphed 10 times on their travels this season and Carew says the tie is far from over. [LNB]He said: 'We still have a great chance. We may be playing away but we are more than good enough as a team to go and beat them. [LNB]'We are travelling to a place that's a bit colder - and that could be a problem but we just have to be confident. We created so many chances on Wednesday night. I'm sure we can do the same in Russia.' [LNB]Carew's goal overshadowed an electric performance by Love who is one of European football's hottest properties.
