O'Neill: Fourth place still key
11 Mar 2010 - 10:07:25
Manager Martin O'Neill remains hopeful that his Aston Villa side's recent cup exploits will not affect their bid to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Villa are currently down in seventh place in the table, but are just four points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, with two games in hand on their rivals.
O'Neill told the club's official website: "We are still fighting. We are still battling there.
"Because of the cup runs and because of the League Cup semis, replays against Crystal Palace and the postponed Premier League games, because of all that, it means it's going to be pretty hectic between now and the end of the season.
"At the moment we are trying to get dates against Everton and Hull. It's going to be pretty exciting if we can stay in there and hang in there.
"Saturday's game against Stoke will be extremely difficult, followed by an equally difficult away trip to Wigan.
"But we've got to hang in, try and stay the course and stay with it."
