Everyone at Aston Villa will already be focused on the play-offs even though they have one game remaining in the Championship.

Steve Bruce's men are guaranteed a fourth place finish and will have to get through the high-pressure games if they are to return to the Premier League.

Winning promotion is vital to the club because of FFP and failure to do so will mean the club have to slash the wage bill and sell some star players.

That would present Bruce with a major problem with the likes of John Terry and Jack Grealish sure to leave.

The Chelsea legend is out of contract in the summer whereas local lad Grealish is sure to attract a lot of interest after his performances this season.

They wouldn't be the only players to leave Villa Park if Villa are a Championship club next season and here we take a look at the sort of XI they could put out in August in the second tier...

Current stopper Sam Johnstone has been superb this season but Villa don't stand much chance of bringing him back as a Championship side.

That could force the club to look elsewhere and one man they've been liked with is Reims keeper Mendy. He's had a fine season for the Ligue 2 club and would thrive in the second tier.

The former Hull right-back has been consistent this season and is still a good player at this level.

The Manchester United man is set to join Villa on loan again next season and should make more of an impact than he has this season.

With Terry off, Tuanzebe can step in and play in his natural position. With pace, power and strength he should excel in the Championship.

The Wales inernational has been superb this season and it's critical Villa hold on to him in the summer if they remain a Championship side.

The former Swansea man has struggled this season but at 29-years old he should still have a lot to offer at this level.

Will need to improve on recent performances though.

The 33-year old will have a big responsibility in this Villa side with his experience and defensive instincts.

The Irish midfielder has enjoyed a fine campaign, scoring 11 goals and will hope to hit double figures again next season.

It's going to be tough to keep Robert Snodgrass financially for another season and there may be Premier League interest.

His replacement could be Peterborough star Maddison who is ready to step up from League One.

Replacing Jack Grealish is going to be near-impossible given his talent and there will be a temptation to spend a significant sum if he brings in a massive fee.

However, Villa have a replacement in the academy, with O'Hare ready to become a main player in the first-team after impressing for the U23s all year.

The 20-year old would flourish with a run of games.

Villa's Player of the Year hit 14 goals from out wide and will be crucial again next season.

The Ivory Coast international has struggled with injury this season but will be fresh and ready for August where he could be key.
