Aston Villa are looking good at the moment and will be eager to keep this run of form that they are on going until the end of the season.

The Villans are now into the play-off places but know that things are far from certain with it very congested in that part of the table.

There is still plenty of work to do, then, but it looks as though they are going to be in good health to take it on with a number of players working back to fitness.

We've seen the squad really shape up nicely in recent weeks, and both Henri Lansbury and Axel Tuanzebe are in contention to feature against Blackburn:

Meanwhile, Tommy Elphick and James Chester are making decent strides too in their recovery with Chester doing some light work and Elphick mobile now too.

Good news for Villa, then, at a crucial time of the season.

The Verdict

We're beginning to see the real potential of this Villa squad with a number of quality players on the return or nearly back.

They are in the top six and the way things are right now they are going to take some shifting from those spots.
