Villa aren't strong enough for that yet, IMO.
I think they'll stay up but the weaknesses of last season will still be there, although less so.
Yeah it's a stretch to see them finish that high up but if everyone's taking points off each other, it's a good year to make real progress. They'll pick up a fair few points away from home on the counter I think.
