Last week Aston Villa only drew when they visited West Ham's headquarters and with this result they failed to secure full points again. The same thing happened previously where they lost against Spurs and with this they have thrown away 5 points in the last 2 matches. This will certainly have quite an impact on changes in the position of the next standings because now they cannot maintain a further distance from the teams below them.
Just look, Spurs will have the same 56 points as Aston Villa if they manage to win the next match, especially if they save one match. Manchester United also has the same opportunity to get closer to a difference of 6 points if they also win in the next match. Aston Villa is unaware that several of these teams are starting to approach them to compete for a place in the Champions League and with this international break I hope they can improve their performance before it is too late.
