Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has said he is not worried about the positive effect a new manager may have on Aston Villa ahead of Sunday's midlands derby. The match will be Gerard Houllier's first Barclays Premier League game in charge, but McCarthy thinks that will not effect the task ahead of his team. "They are coming to our place on Sunday and we're no fools," he said. "I've got a good side here. They might all be flying, they might all not be quite sure what's expected of them. "I don't know, but I'll be able to tell after about five minutes." Villa finished sixth during each of their last three seasons, but the Wolves boss added he does not care whether Houllier's team can finally break into the Champions League places. "I don't give tuppence whether they finish in the top four," he said. Gerard's a very good manager, that's been proven. He's a good guy as well."
