Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry says a top four finish is their target this season.

He said: "The aim is to try and get that fourth spot. We have got to be realistic about it. There are players in the dressing room who haven't been in this situation before including myself.

"The majority of players haven't been in a run-in where the pressure is going to be getting to players and there is going to be a lot at stake.

"You are going to need strong players and a strong mentality. I think we are getting that.

"If you are winning games, there is a strong mentality there. We are not always playing well but the results are there and that is down to a strong mentality."
