Martin O’Neill has vowed to make Aston Villa an even more formidable force this summer after narrowly missing out on an automatic UEFA Cup spot.

Villa finished sixth in the Barclays Premier League despite operating with the smallest squad in the division.

They will now face opposition from either Northern Ireland, Finland or Denmark in the third round of the Intertoto Cup in a two-legged tie on July 19-20 and 26-27.

Clubs from 50 nations will enter and be competing for 11 places in the UEFA Cup second qualifying round.
