The 27-year-old said to Leicester Mercury: “Everyone is confident and everybody has positive energy. I’m sure we’ll stay up. We will work on it. As a team, we always want to win games. We are trying to do that and it’s just a matter of time until we catch the pace and we’re going to start winning games.”

Key striker Wesley picked up a long term injury and they lost John McGinn for a big chunk of the season as well.

Aston Villa lost 2-1 to Manchester City in the final earlier this month. They did well to push the defending champions until the end but Pep Guardiola’s side had too much quality for them.
