I'm not sure Aston villa can maintain their ranking to remain in the top 4, they have lost a lot of points in the last 5 matches which makes Tottenham even more likely to overtake them. For Newcastle united, an additional 3 points in today match makes them sit in 7th place and they have the opportunity to chase tickets to the European League if they succeed in maintaining their winning trend in the next match.
I agree that Aston Villa will come out of top 4 but in my opinion they can still secure 5th position, West Ham and Newcastle might be eyeing this position but Aston Villa looks better and worthy especially now that Aston Villa is 8 points ahead of these two teams. Indeed, there are many matches left but we can make estimates based on the performance of each team. In addition to the struggle for European League tickets, we also pay attention to the struggle to get out of degradation, Luton is currently a little safer while Everton is there but of course Everton still has a chance,
