Joleon Lescott: 'There is a fighting spirit at Aston Villa'

Aston Villa defender Joleon Lescott expects the club to make a "real fight" for Premier League survival.

Aston Villa defender Joleon Lescott has said that the club have "nothing to lose" in their fight for survival in the Premier League.

Despite Saturday's 2-0 win over Norwich City, Villa remain eight points from safety, but Lescott has backed his side to continue battling for their top-flight status in their last 13 games.

The 33-year-old is quoted by the Daily Star as saying: "Absolutely everyone has written us off so we've got nothing to lose. If we go down everyone just says, 'Well, we knew that in January or February'.

"But we've got a great fighting spirit and we believe if we show that kind of desire and attitude in every game we'll make a real fight of it."

Villa are next in action when they host Liverpool on February 14.
