Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is confident his players can keep it together for the remainder of the season.

O'Neill explained: "Neither Nigel Reo-Coker or Ashley Young got a proper rest last summer because of their involvement in the Under-21 Championships but you couldn't say Ashley's form has disintegrated because of it.

"Most of those lads want to play in the games. I'm hoping our problems arise when we have a bigger and better squad to choose from and that's something we'll address in the summer."
