Villa striker Carew: Stoke among toughest trips in Premiership

Aston Villa striker John Carew rates Stoke City among the toughest away days in the Premiership.

Villa are at the Britannia stadium tomorrow.

Carew told Villa's website: "It will be a very tough game. It's one of the most difficult away games in the Premier League.

"It's a game that will be similar to the game against Reading. Stoke are obviously a division higher than Reading but they are a physical side and it will be a physical game on a tiny pitch.

"We really have to be up for it. I am sure we will be able to get something out of the game."
