Aston Villa eyeing Champions League return this season

Aston Villa are aiming to get back into the Champions League this season. They missed out on the final day of the last campaign after losing to Manchester United at Old Trafford. They are having to juggle Europa League football with their domestic duties at this moment in time.

Their win at Leeds saw them rise into the top four along with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. Crystal Palace sit just below them in 5th position followed by the likes of Brighton and Hove Albion, Sunderland, AFC Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur. They have won six of their first 12 matches so far this term.

Aston Villa took a while to get going but seem to have clicked now. They will get the chance to bring in some new faces in the January transfer window if needed. There will also be the opportunity to let some players head out the exit door as well if needed.

Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott are both facing uncertain futures this winter. They are on loan from Manchester United and Liverpool respectively. However, they have both struggled for minutes and it remains to be seen at this stage whether they will stick around until next summer or leave early.
