Villa have the unenviable task of facing leaders Arsenal and closest challengers Manchester City on consecutive weekends – starting with Sunday’s trip to take on the champions at the Etihad Stadium.

But despite losing 4-2 to Leicester last time out, midfielder Ramsey insists spirits in the squad remain high.

“They (City) have got 15 or 16 players who are world-class and their squad is unbelievable,” he said. “But if we’re on our A game, we can get a result.”

“Everyone knows that our next two fixtures are going to be really tough.

“We’ve got to believe. If we play our best game, we can get a result against both of them.”
