Aston Villa winger Leandro Bacuna is looking forward to the three consecutive Midlands derbies that await the club.

Villa will travel to Leicester City for a Premier League clash this weekend followed by the visit of West Bromwich Albion before a tantalising Capital One Cup third round meeting with Birmingham City.

Ahead of the derby trio, Bacuna told the club's official website: "It's really brilliant.

"The fans can now start looking forward to these games and we as a team too.

"They will be great occasions to play in and ones we relish."
