I really do feel for Villa, they seem to be the biggest losers from Manchester City’s influx of capital. Last season they took Gareth Barry off their hands. Now James Milner's protracted departure for Eastlands is all but inevitable. Filling the void in midfield will be a tough ask, but they will need more than that to break into the top four. They have a solid backline and midfield that were formidable last season. Not to mention a host of former England Under 21 internationals at their disposal. We should also not forget Fabian Delph, the young midfielder signed from Leeds last season; this could be his chance to prove his worth. Their forwards need to live up to their potential and ability to give them a fighting chance. However, in Martin O’Neill they have a quality manager, and with a few shrewd signings from the sale of Milner, I could see them being the dark horse of the season if they start well.
Last Season – 6th
My Prediction – 5th
