Stoke's Kelly expects pelters from Villa fans

Stoke City's on-loan Birmingham defender Stephen Kelly expects pelters from Aston Villa fans today.

He said: "I'm sure I'll get a bit of stick if I do play, but it's still a good place to go and play. You get used to that kind of stick by this stage of your career anyway.

"I've played in enough derbies for me not to worry about what the fans say.

"When you first experience such things, it can be a bit daunting I suppose, but now I'm used to it, so it's no big deal. Sometimes it can actually be quite funny."
