Villa's O'Neill: We must be wary of Hull

Ahead of Tuesday's clash with Hull City, Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is wary of the performances the Tigers are capable of producing.

A win would see Villa jump into the top four again but O'Neill is being cautious of Phil Brown's side.

"People say it's a good time to catch Hull but I certainly don't see it like that," he told AVTV.

"All I look at is the amount of points they have put on the board - and I think it is remarkable.

"They have been a great story so far this season. Their efforts have been absolutely remarkable.

"They have come into the Barclays Premier League and played with no apparent fear.

"They have been well organised and they have more than deserved all the points they have got. Like the rest of us, they have been beaten a few times but they always fight back."
