Villa boss O'Neill would welcome six derbies a season

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill says he'd love it if all four Midlands clubs were in the Premier League next season.

He said: "There'll be a divided view among the die-hard Villa fans about whether they want Birmingham City in the Premier League or not.

"Personally speaking, I would like to see them make it. I thought the derby games were exciting last time around.

"They were certainly very tough matches. We played splendidly in the 5-1 win but even then there was always the possibility that Birmingham could get back into it. I was absolutely delighted to win both those games.

"Wolves are already up and it would be great if West Bromwich Albion could stage a late fight-back and make it too."
