Seriously think villa could go top for new years, looking at the fixtures coming up.
I still think they will start to fall away as their squad isn’t that deep and Europe and cups will take their toll.Seriously think villa could go top for new years, looking at the fixtures coming up.

Our season hinges on who we can keep from getting injured or banned. Fully fit squad and we're contenders. Hopefully levy sees the potential and invests so we have the depth we needWith Afcon/Asia cup/injuries if we can be in and around the top 4 arounf mid feb then we could have a very good end to the season.
The way we are playing we deserve at least 4th but yea tottally depends on injuries, how quickly our players come back and how far away or there or there abouts we are come Feb after AFCON and Asia Games.I still think we will get 4th. We have gone through a really tough period and we are only 7 points off 1st.
Only takes a couple of key injuries and or suspensions for any of the teams in the top six to suddenly have a wobble. Look at us, and City. Or Newcastle and their injury crisis.Not sure how to call it. As of now I think Liverpool are favourites, but I'd not put money on them or anyone else. Arsenal and City are grinding out wins and as others have said, Villa at their worst are still solid defensively. We can talk about how they were pinned back in previous games against other top half teams, but they seem to always find a way.
As for us. We could finish anywhere from 1st to 8th, things can swing significantly in the space of a couple of games.
We've been saying it for a while. Give Ange the right reinforcements in January and we will consolidate our position.Only takes a couple of key injuries and or suspensions for any of the teams in the top six to suddenly have a wobble. Look at us, and City. Or Newcastle and their injury crisis.
All still to play for, but I fear our injury list and Afcon will scupper any serious chances we have in the league. Top 4 will be a big ask still imo.
Anyone have a list of AFCON players missing for the other top 5/6 teams?
