Aston Villa star Matty Cash insists the players are not giving up on this season.

The Birmingham-based club are not being drawn into the relegation fight, while they are too far away from the top eight to mount a challenge for a European finish.

However, Cash states that everyone in the squad wants to finish this season strongly, starting with a game against Tottenham on Saturday.

He said, per Express and Star: "We want to finish strong. We have eight games left and they are all massive games.

"Every time you put the shirt on for Villa it is a big game because you always have to prove yourself.

"You can play well during the season but you are always judged on your last game. You have to perform and that is how it is."
