Aston Villa fullback Luke Young says their current form is proof enough he was right to quit Middlesbrough in the summer.

"I don't think we will get carried away. We have all been in the game long enough to realise that things can change very quickly,'' he said.

"Everyone has got their feet on the ground. We are really pleased with the way things are going, but it is a tough, tough league and it is a long season.

"We are third in the table and it is great to be up there but it will be hard to stay in there.

"We are doing so well, winning games, but the top four do it week in and week out."
