A derby clash with West Brom could not come at a better time for an improving Aston Villa, is the view of Rudy Gestede.
Aston Villa striker Rudy Gestede says Saturday's derby meeting with West Brom is coming at the perfect time for Remi Garde's side.
Villa remain adrift at the foot of the Premier League table and are 10 points from safety heading into this weekend's fixtures, but an upturn in recent form has helped restore some confidence around Villa Park.
Tuesday's 2-0 FA Cup replay win over Wycombe Wanderers extended Villa's unbeaten run to four games in all competitions, while they have only conceded two goals during that spell.
