Graham Taylor 'worried" by Aston Villa's tough April fixtures

Former Aston Villa manager Graham Taylor is worried by the club's tough April fixtures.

The relegation-threatened club got a vital victory against West Brom tonight, but will face tougher challenges next month away to Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City.

"It worries me a little bit to tell you the truth," said Taylor on Off The Ball tonight

"But that's why the result today is important as well. I'm not saying they're not going to get results in those games. But just on paper, it looks very hard. But football's not played on paper." 

Taylor also gave his perceptions of Tim Sherwood's more outgoing personality in contrast to Paul Lambert.

But he also feels that Christian Benteke is still a little way off his best despite his match-winning penalty against West Brom.

"I still think he has a bit to go to get back to the dangerous player that he inevitably was," said Taylor, who also described Jack Grealish's performance as "excellent" and "promising for the future".
