Ahmed Elmohamady wants Aston Villa to hit the ground running against Derby

Ahmed Elmohamady has urged Aston Villa to hit the ground running in their Championship play-off final with Derby County at Wembley Stadium on Monday.

The Claret and Blue Army saw off West Bromwich Albion on penalties in the semi-final of the play-offs after they were locked at 2-2 on aggregate.

Last season, Villa missed out on a chance to play in the Premier League after losing to Fulham in the final of the play-offs.
