10 Things Aston Villa Fans Need To Know About Notts County

8. Sherwood's Taking Nothing for Granted

Two losses on the bounce mean that Sherwood will be looking for a comfortable victory, if only to quell any signs of anxiety from the Villa fans. He knows however that this will not be easy against Notts County, despite the gulf in leagues. Speaking in a press conference, Sherwood said:

"It will be a tough game. I know their manager Ricardo Moniz very well. He used to be a skills coach at Tottenham.

"They will look to come and play football. It's a good home draw for us and one we are looking forward to.

"It's always difficult on the back of a defeat, especially the way that result against Crystal Palace came."
