Chelsea and Aston Villa are also working hard to get into the elite positions in the standings, they are only one point behind Man City. The remaining 6 games are very decisive for these teams, losing points will be a big loss for them.
I have a feeling that Aston Villa will most likely fail to compete with Chelsea and Chelsea who can get the best position in the standings. I am not underestimating Aston Villa but this season Villa will not be easy to compete with experienced teams like Chelsea and Man City.
I'm just saying speculation and we'll see how the season ends.
