Aston Villa midfielder Stiliyan Petrov wants a key role for this weekend's derby against Birmingham City.
The midfielder has not played in a local derby in England. And he said: "To score the winner against Birmingham would be a dream for me.
"I had a very good record playing for Celtic against Rangers when I scored one or two winners.
"All the Villa players have been talking about the Birmingham derby for a long time and everyone wants to play in it."
Petrov is still to convince the Villa fans he is worthy of a regular starting spot ahead of emerging youngsters Craig Gardner and Isaiah Osbourne.
He added: "It has been a big challenge for me to force my way back into the team.
"Nobody's safe, so we're all working hard to win the vote from the manager."
