Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is delighted with the balance of his current squad.

Lambert feels that he's working with the most talented group of players he's ever had at the club.

"The squad is the strongest I've encountered in the time I've been here," he said.

"We just need to get Ashley Westwood back. He is a really intelligent footballer. We have to get the injured ones fit, Senderos, Baker and if you can add to that then yeah, you want to make it stronger."
