Villa defender Baker: Arsenal hold no fears

Aston Villa defender Nathan Baker says they're up for their clash with Arsenal.

Villa claimed a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield three days ago thanks to Gabriel Agbonlahor's early goal and Baker is confident his side can back that up with victory over the Gunners this weekend.

"We have done it at Anfield so why can't we do it at Villa Park? If we can beat Liverpool we can beat anyone," he said.

"We are getting stronger and stronger. We have a lot more experience in the team and it is paying off.

"This is the start of a hard spell and hopefully we can carry on with the confidence we have.

"We are dong well at the moment. We just have to keep our heads on and keep going.

"The signs have been there. There has been more competition and maybe that is why we are doing so well, everyone wants to keep their place."
