Villa signing Knight: O'Neill backs me

Aston Villa signing Zat Knight will make his debut against Chelsea on Sunday, despite his arrest this week by armed police on a drugs raid.

"The fans haven't got anything to worry about," said Knight, who has two England caps. "I know my career here has got off to a bit of a bad start but I'm happy to be here.

"I have spoken to Martin O'Neill about it and he gave me his full support. He realises that I have done nothing wrong."
