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.
It is possible for Aston Villa to compete for a position in the standings that will make them appear in the Europa League this season. Aston Villa have 6 matches left this season and Aston Villa's remaining matches are the same as Chelsea. From the remaining matches, both also get fairly tough opponents. But my feeling says it is possible for Aston Villa because Aston Villa can focus more on the Premier League without having to think about other competitions like Chelsea who are still in the Europa Conference League. I forgot, Aston Villa are still in the FA Cup.
If Aston Villa's performance remains consistent as they have been lately, perhaps they can surpass Manchester City and successfully appear in the UCL next season.
