Martin O'Neill has called on Aston Villa to give Steve Bruce another season to turn things around.

After replacing Roberto Di Matteo in October, Bruce's reign at Villa Park began promisingly with the club enjoying a seven-match unbeaten run.

But their form has taken a drastic nosedive in 2017 - they have lost six of their last seven games and are sitting 17th in the Championship.
