Shay Given admits derby defeat to West Bromwich Albion last week was a big disappointment for Aston Villa.
Villa are at Sunderland today.
And Given told Absolute Radio: "Yeah, we're disappointed in the amount of the goals we've given away in the last couple of games, especially from a couple of set plays have been very disappointing. The great thing about football is that you've always got the next game to put that right and I think we were harshly done by last weekend with the sending off. We were cruising at one nil and with 11 v 11, and it was a really strange decision by the linesman to get him sent off which really put us on the back foot.
"Credit to West Brom. They played really well second half and probably deserved to take the three points but it was a bit harsh on ourselves. We're looking forward to the game Saturday. It's a big game for everyone and looking forward to hopefully getting up there and then winning the game."
