It's predictions time again, we took a look at the run in with 6 games to go for Aston Villa, now we're back to look at the final two - Liverpool and Brighton.

Unai Emery's Aston Villa face an uphill task to secure a place in the Top 7 needing Brighton and/or Tottenham to drop points, whilst not impossible, it is probably unlikely. But, one can dream.

It's the start of May now and we still can't quite believe what we're seeing from Unai Emery's Aston Villa. The transformation in the fortunes of the club from November to now cannot be understated, and whatever happens in the final games of the 22/23 season, Villa fans have a team they can be proud of.

There were a handful of players at the end of the Steven Gerrard era that you may have thought weren't good enough to mount a charge on the Top 6 and needed shipping out. Six months later, not only has Unai Emery got those players ticking again, they've arguably all doubled in value and become even better footballers.
