Aston Villa have have won every match following a defeat this season, showcasing their top four credentials.

That is the view of midfielder Youri Tielemans, who believes bouncing back from failure is so crucial in a league campaign.

While the Villains may have days off, such as losing 3-1 to Newcastle United, they can roar back, as evidenced by the 5-0 thumping of Sheffield United at the weekend.

Tielemans told reporters: “There is big character inside the dressing room. The numbers prove it.

“We just need to keep going and hopefully win more than we lose."

He then added on taking on Chelsea in the FA Cup in midweek and Manchester United in the league over the weekend: “We've got two massive games ahead, starting with the FA Cup on Wednesday night. Hopefully we can win."
