Andreas \u00a0Weimann says Aston Villa be ‘fearless’ when they head to the Etihad on Wednesday to do Liverpool a favour in their tittle ambition.<\/p>\n
The Aston Villa striker is looking for a repeat of his heroics against Manchester City back in September.<\/p>\n
Weimann scored the stunning late winner in Villa’s 3-2 smash and grab win over Manuel Pellegrini’s men.<\/p>\n
And Weimann insists there’s no pressure on Villa after his double helped clinch safety with the weekend win over Hull. He said: “We have put some brilliant performances in against a few of the top teams and got some great wins, but we have lost when we thought we shouldn’t have.<\/p>\n
“It hasn’t been easy but Saturday’s win was important. We’ll definitely go there and we can play with freedom because we’re safe.<\/p>\n
“We won’t go there and give in. We have beaten them once so we’ll see what we can do away.”<\/span><\/p>\n City keeper Joe Hart must still have nightmares at the thought of being caught outside his box as Weimann slipped the ball past him.<\/p>\n Weimann adds: “It was outside the box and once he was out there, there wasn’t much he could do because if he came with his hands he would have been off.”<\/p>\n Villa boss Paul Lambert saw his side end a six-match streak without a win and says there’s suddenly a different feel about the palce.<\/p>\n Lambert said: “We go to City in a better state for that. We can go there with the shackles off.<\/p>\n “But whatever team City put out, they have loads of world class players and that’s what you are up against.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Andreas \u00a0Weimann says Aston Villa be ‘fearless’ when they head to the Etihad on Wednesday to do Liverpool a favour in their tittle ambition.
