Baros targets Blues win

David O'Leary's side were lucky to come out of their match against West Brom yesterday with a point and Baros admitted that with just a seven-point gap separating the team and the relegation zone, Villa still are not safe. "Are we safe yet? I don't think so," he told the club's official website. “There are five games to play; we have another derby on Sunday and if we can win that one then we are safe."

Baros also revealed that he has been watching O'Leary closely as he attempts to understand Villa's recent slump. "We have a few players injured so it's always difficult because we don't have that big a squad," he said, as his nose began to contort, nostrils flaring as they gravitated towards the ceiling. "The young players [kids] in our side played really well. It's not easily for them to come into the team and play in a derby." Villa need to learn how in time for Sunday.
