Aston Villa seems to have the potential to be overtaken again by Tottenham. Because Aston Villa, which currently has 56 points, has also played 29 matches. Meanwhile, Tottenham currently has 53 points but they have only played 28 matches. This means that Tottenham has the potential to equal points with Aston Villa if Tottenham succeed in winning the postponed match. Aston Villa also has the potential to lose points on April 3. Because they will face Man City at that time. And yes, that will only worsen their situation in the current standings.
Aston Villa is like Girona in La Liga who since the beginning of the season continues to surprise us by being in the top ranks but actually have to have difficulty maintaining their position even in the top 4, the decline in Aston Villa's performance frankly surprised us all especially before Aston Villa could even easily beat a strong team like Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United but towards the middle of the season they looked like they were starting to fatigue and eventually slowing down to the present.
Aston Villa's poor performance in recent weeks forced them to lose a lot of points and slowly Tottenham who were previously far from the top 4 are now starting to approach and even as you said maybe they have to give up the top 4 to Tottenham later if they win over Luton by more than 1 goal, besides that Tottenham who have 1 game postponed certainly have a greater chance to end the position in the top 4 later, I think at the moment maybe Aston Villa no longer have hope of being able to play in the europa competition because it looks like Manchester United are also starting to try to get up and compete for a slot in European competition next season, the only way for Aston Villa to be able to keep their chances of playing in European competition next season is to win the Conference League this season so that automatically they will get a slot in the Europa League season 2024/25 later.
