Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan has insisted that if the Villans can improve their home form they will be able to finish well clear of danger in the Premier League.

Villa, who are currently 10th in the league table, have won just twice in 11 home games this season, but have four victories in the same number of games away from Villa Park.

"We're mid-table so as bad as everyone says we're doing, we're not doing that badly," Guzan told the Birmingham Mail. "A few more results which go our way and the next thing you know we're pushing our way up the table.

"I don't know what it is at home and we want to sort that out as quickly as possible. Every time you play at Villa Park the atmosphere is great. It will only add to the excitement playing West Bromwich Albion.

"It's a local derby, we'll be up for it. The games are always filled with a lot of passion and intensity. We'll make sure we'll be ready for it."

The game against West Brom takes place on Wednesday evening.
