Black aims to stop Villa 'anarchy'

Eric Black is hoping to prevent "anarchy" from breaking out in the Aston Villa dressing room as relegation looks certain.

Aston Villa caretaker manager Eric Black is out to prevent "anarchy" in the Villa Park dressing room as relegation from the Premier League looms.

Black was given the unenviable task of seeing out the season in the Villa hot seat following the sacking of Remi Garde last month, with the Birmingham club rock bottom and 15 points adrift of safety after 33 matches.

And with relegation pending as early as Saturday against Manchester United, Black's main priority is maintaining some sense of order among the players.
