Aston Villa: James Milner fires warning ahead of tough week for Villa
Feb 13 2009 by Mathew Kendrick, Birmingham Mail
JAMES Milner has braced Villa for potentially the biggest week of their season by warning them how quickly their fortunes could change.
Villa visit Everton in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday, host CSKA Moscow in the UEFA Cup last-32 on Wednesday and face Chelsea in the Premier League next weekend.
Milner has played an important part in Martin O’Neill’s success story so far this term and was rewarded with his first England call-up for the midweek friendly in Spain.
But the winger, who was an unused substitute in Seville on Wednesday, knows from bitter experience how rapidly teams can be knocked out of their stride.
Milner was a member of the Newcastle side whose impressive runs to the latter stages of the FA Cup and UEFA Cup were ended in the space of three days.
“It’s a big week for us, we have been doing really well recently but we have to keep our momentum going,” he said.
“We are going on the road and doing as well as we can. We are picking up results but we have deserved them.
