Aston Villa’s Predicted Finish Compared to Chelsea, Man United, and Liverpool Fixtures

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa head into the final stretch of the season with a clear route to the Champions League. Villa sit on 54 points with seven league games left after the March international break.

Where the teams stand

Manchester United lead this mini-group with 55 points. Liverpool have 49 and Chelsea 48. Small margins separate the clubs chasing European places.

What Villa need

Four wins in the remaining seven fixtures should be enough for Villa to clinch a top-four place. If Chelsea win five of their last seven, they would finish on 63 points.

That means Villa must gain at least 10 points from the remaining 21 to go beyond 63. Ten points equates to three wins and a draw from seven matches.
