Dean Smith not losing sleep over Aston Villa form
Confident Dean Smith insists Villa’s faltering form isn’t causing him sleepless nights.
Villa face Southampton tonight looking to snap a four-match losing streak which has placed Smith under scrutiny.
But the boss is convinced his team will come good and claims he isn’t suffering any extra stress.
He said: “If you are asking me do I sleep well? Yes, I still sleep well. I still play well at golf and my wife is still speaking to me. So I feel fine.”
Asked if he still felt support from Villa’s hierarchy, Smith replied: “The conversations that I have daily with our director of football, with the chief executive, have never wavered in any way shape or form.
“They have been of a similar vein throughout my tenure here because the word here has always been consistency.”
Smith will consider giving Morgan Sanson, now recovered from Covid-19, a first Premier League start since April.
