Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has high hopes for this summer's Peace Cup and believes the standard of the competition will be very high. "I just think it will be excellent. The quality should be really, really good," the Villa boss told The Express and Star.

"It is very prestigious and has been moved to Europe now this season. It went down very well in [Asia], but now they have moved the venue. I'm hoping it goes down very well in Europe too."

The Peace Cup involves 12 teams, including Spanish giants Real Madrid, Italian side Juventus and 2004 Champions League winners Porto.
