Aston Villa moved into the final play-off place at the weekend following their fourth straight win, in the match against Middlesbrough, a result that now leaves the Villans in sixth spot above Preston on goal difference.

Villa have now only lost three matches in their last 12 and it is this form that has now put Dean Smith's side right into the promotion mix with eight games remaining.

So are Villa going to get a top six spot after their recent fine form?

Gary Hutchinson

“Yes.

“I can’t believe I’m saying that either.

“I can see them getting into the Premier League at this rate.

“They’ve hit form at the right time.”

Jacob Potter

"Without a doubt.

"Villa have hit form at the perfect time and I can’t see them losing many games now which will be pleasing reading for Villa supporters.

"They’re the dark horses and will be feared by the rest of their promotion rivals as the season heads towards a conclusion."

"You have to fancy their chances.

"We’re finally seeing the best of them under Dean Smith, and the players that weren’t performing now are.

"They have a fantastic squad on paper and will do very well in the business end of the season."

Jay Taylor

“I think it’s nailed on.

“One team always blows the chasing pack out of the water come the end of the season and this year will be no different.

“Villa are that team going on a run to gate-crash the top-six, and I think they will do it at a canter and finish higher than that.

“They could well be the form team heading into the play-offs.”
