Tim Sherwood 'focused on Aston Villa' ahead of Tottenham Hotspur return

Tim Sherwood insists that he is fully focused on Aston Villa ahead of his return to White Hart Lane to face former club Tottenham Hotspur.

Tim Sherwood has insisted that he is 100% focused on Aston Villa ahead of his return to face former club Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.

On Saturday, Sherwood will make his first return to White Hart Lane since being sacked less than five months into his reign at the end of last season.

His Villa side are three points clear of the relegation zone following their thrilling 3-3 draw with Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday night and, despite being faced with a tricky run-in, Sherwood insists that he will not change his side's style of play.

"There's always pressure on all the games you're going to play and who's to say we can't go to into those games and win?" Sherwood told reporters.

"I don't think we're cut out to dig out results, we can't do what QPR did. We're going to play on the front foot.

"Tottenham is the next game, it's a great stadium, they have been very good to me but my focus is on Aston Villa now. I'll only enjoy it if we come away with three points."

In addition to Spurs, Villa still have Manchester City, Everton, West Ham United, Southampton and Burnley left to play this season, as well as an FA Cup semi-final against either Blackburn Rovers or Liverpool.
