Nathan Delfouneso calls for Villa response

Aston Villa's young striker Nathan Delfouneso has backed his teammates to respond from Sunday's defeat to Liverpool with a good display against Arsenal on Wednesday.

Aston Villa striker Nathan Delfouneso has urged his teammates to bounce-back from their 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.

Early goals from Craig Bellamy and Martin Skrtel earned Liverpool the win at Villa Park, with Alex McLeish admitting his injury hit side had under-performed.

Now Delfouneso has called for his teammates to respond well to the weekend's disappointment with a good display against Arsenal on Wednesday night.

He told the club's official website: "There's no time to sit around now. "We have another big test on Wednesday and we have to get ourselves ready for it. We will get ourselves together and regroup."

"Like Liverpool, Arsenal are a very good side. We must make sure we turn up and give them a really good game.

"With the character we have in the dressing room, we will be raring to go on Wednesday. We have bounced back before and we can do it again, definitely."

The England under-21 forward made his first league start of the season for the West Midlands outfit on Sunday.
