Aston Villa defender James Collins says they fear no-one ahead of the Carling Cup quarterfinal draw.

The Welshman says the club's rock-solid defence will be tough for anyone to crack on the road to cup glory.

It means Martin O'Neill's men will be unfazed by Saturday's draw - which could put them up against one of the Barclays Premier League's big guns, including holders Manchester United.

Collins told AVTV: "We are delighted to be in the hat. As the manager said, we are just happy to be in the quarter-finals.

"Anyone we get - if we keep playing and defending the way we are, we'll give anybody a game."
