Former Aston Villa star Paul Merson says his old club will definitely be relegated.

Merson wrote in the Daily Star Sunday: "What Randy Lerner is doing at Villa makes me angry. It's like me buying a stately home and letting it go derelict.

"It's like he's said, 'Nah, can't be bothered. I've got other things to do. I'll leave that'. Unbelievable.

"Aston Villa are going to be the biggest club of the Premier League era to go down. Because they will go down. Let's not kid ourselves."
