Martin O'Neill warns Chelsea must beat Aston Villa
With Manchester United having opened up a ten point lead at the top of the table, O'Neill said that Chelsea must not only go unbeaten for the rest of the season, they must win 11 of their remaining 13 matches. [LNB]'I do think that,' he said. 'I think that with Manchester United having completed the same number of games as everybody else and opening up that five point gap over Liverpool, and another five over Chelsea, Chelsea will feel now that with 13 games left, for them to stand any chance they will need to be unbeaten in the 13, and win 11. [LNB]"Ten points behind Manchester United are a lot of points.' [LNB]James Milner and Emile Heskey were back in training yesterday, so confidence is high at Villa, despite their comprehensive 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season being still fresh in the memory. [LNB]'We were brushed aside,' O'Neill conceded. 'But I think that we have picked up since then. There is plenty of confidence and I think we can win.' [LNB]His confidence was echoed by John Carew, the club's Norwegian striker, who said: 'There's a reason why we are two points ahead of them. [LNB]"We've been better than them this season. I think we are going to go out and show that on Saturday.' [LNB]
