Aston Villa were never title contenders. I remember they beat us at the Bridge and people were saying can they challenge Arsenal and I was like by 38 games, Villa will be fighting for the UCL places. When we lost to Fulham, Villa went 11/12 points ahead of us. Now we are what 4 points behind them? I maintained from then that we will finish above them. Forest was in a similar position and ended up in what 7th place or so last season?

Villa should be happy City won because they have a nice little gap over 5th spot right now and them getting UCL would be a fantastic achievement. I said 5th spot, because it most certainly will be 5 teams getting UCL places again.

Villa are definitely a huge wildcard here, you’re right. Once the pressure ramps up you could definitely see them wilting.

I could see us overtaking them in the end if Palmer rounds into form and our keys guys stay fit.

Great result for us. Keeps pressure on Arse and gives us a tiny bit of breathing room behind us.

This month is a nice window to widen that gap to Liverpool since they play Sunderland and Forest away and we have Leeds and Burnley at home.

Even West Ham isn’t the guaranteed 3 points currently as we ourselves witnessed. I think they play them soon.

Villa situation is not like Forest though. Villa have hit 60+ points for three straight seasons and are on course for a fourth one. They have a coach and plenty of players with experience of handling this stretch.

Chance to have a even better gap between 5th/us currently if they win tommrow...
