Football Focus Highlight

Aston Villa improve their performance week by week. This time they defeat guest team Portsmouth with 2-0, scored by James Milner from penalty spot and Agbonlahor with fabulous goal.
The defeat makes Pompey the first top-flight side to lose their opening six games in over a quarter of a century.
Leicester City were the last team to start a top-flight campaign in similarly desultory fashion.
And while Portsmouth can perhaps take heart from the fact that the Foxes eventually recovered to finish the 1983/84 season in 15th place, they will need to tighten up significantly at the back if history is to repeat itself.

After a fifth successive win in all competitions, Villa have no such problems.
Nigel Reo-Coker's training-ground contretemps with manager Martin O'Neill overshadowed the prelude to the game, but a vibrant performance will have done much to lighten the mood in the claret-and-sky-blue camp.
