The both clubs Aston Villa would be fighting for fourth and fifth position at the end of the season if they can continue fighting the same way they have started. I will want to place Aston Villa ahead still because they have a manager who's experienced in the Premier League Competition and at the same time they have a good defense. Fatigue and too much games would be the challenges they'll be facing ahead. As per Chelsea, they are doing well right now but they don't have a solid defense system even though the coach is doing well. Arsenal and Manchester City are frontiers this season again. Let that sink in!
It's not much different from what happened last season, so I'm not too over the top in judging Aston Villa's performance right now, and it must be admitted that they are currently a strong team but I'm not sure Aston Villa can maintain their consistency until the end of the season, and that's the same as last season.
This season's journey is still very long and what happens now does not guarantee that it will continue to happen so there will be ups and downs in a team so we can't judge far for now.
