Aston Villa put some safe distance between themselves and the Relegation Zone thanks to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Bristol City on Tuesday evening.
This was Villa’s second win in 4 days and now means that they are sitting on 42 points, a relatively comfortable 9 points above the third and final relegation spot.
Villa have a great opportunity to increase the distance and make it 3 wins in 7 days when they take on Rotherham on Saturday at 3pm. Rotherham have only won 4 games the whole season and, as a result, they find themselves sitting at the bottom of the table with just 17 points – a whopping 16 points adrift of safety. It is probably fair to say that Rotherham are destined for League 1 football next season.
Villa (and their fans) will be thinking that this will be a relatively comfortable 3 points, but we all know what happens when Villa are expected to win…
Here is our predicted Villa XI for Saturday’s afternoon kick-off against Rotherham.
