Aston Villa are a club transformed under Unai Emery – and they remain firmly in the hunt for a place in next season's Champions League.
Emery has taken a struggling Premier League team under Steven Gerrard last season to one that is playing European football and currently sits in the top four. The Spaniard's side also went on a club-record 15-match winning streak at Villa Park in the league before that run was ended by Sheffield United in December.
And the data boffins at OCB Scores have had their say on how the 2023/24 campaign will end for Villa and their top-flight rivals. They predict that Emery's side will join Arsenal, Liverpool, and City in the top four by finishing five points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham in fourth.
