Brad Guzan hails Fraser Forster ahead of Southampton visit

Brad Guzan warns his Aston Villa teammates that they will come up against one of the best goalkeepers in England when they face Fraser Forster's Southampton.

Brad Guzan has warned his Aston Villa teammates that they will have to play well to beat Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster on Monday night.

Paul Lambert's side host the high-flying Saints at Villa Park, having scoring just once in their last seven Premier League outings.

Ominously for the Villans, Forster has conceded just five times so far as Southampton sit second in the table, and Guzan says that his fellow keeper - who joined from Celtic in the summer - deserves plenty of credit for their lofty position.

"You look at Southampton as a whole and how he fits into that team and he has done a really good job," he told reporters. "The record and the clean sheets speak for themselves.

"He is a big part of that, you tip your hat to him because it's not always easy coming from any league into the Premier League and adjusting. He has done a really good job."

In February, Forster beat Bobby Clark's 43-year record by keeping 13 successive clean sheets for Celtic.
