Aston Vila boss Tim Sherwood is determined for today's FA Cup final to be no one-off.

Villa haven't won the FA Cup since 1957 and Sherwood believes the club should be contesting finals regularly.

"Aston Villa are a huge club and should be around finals," he said. "It's been too long, but there's a lot of teams saying that.

"The top four or five teams have run away with it and there's not really a level playing field, but we still shouldn't feel like we're the poor relations.

"Hopefully we go back there in the Charity Shield in August because it means we've done something right.

"Hopefully it also brings us European football which is great for this club.

"If you asked me now I'm happy to have that headache next year because it means I've walked up those steps and lifted that Cup. I'll take that all day."
