Tony Cottee backs Aston Villa to finish in the top six of the Championship this season.
Former West Ham United and Everton striker Tony Cottee said on the ReUnited show on Sky Sports News HQ on Friday morning (broadcast from 10am, November 18, 2016) that Aston Villa will end up in the top six of the Championship this season.
Villa are 14th in the Championship table at the moment with 21 points from 16 matches.
The Villans, who got relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season, are only five points behind sixth-placed Leeds United, who are currently sixth in the standings and occupy the final playoff spot.
Former Norwich City striker Cottee has backed Villa to finish in the top six of the Championship this season.
“Villa won’t be far away, you know,” said Cottee on the ReUnited show on Sky Sports News HQ on Friday morning (broadcast from 10am, November 18, 2016). “I think they will probably get up into the top six come the end of the season.”
Villa have improved under new manager Steve Bruce, who seems to be getting the best out of the players.
The Villans have a lot of work to do, as competition for a place in the playoffs is going to be very tough.
Bruce’s side will return to action on Friday evening when they take on Brighton & Hove Albion away from home at the American Express Community Stadium in the Championship.
