Only about 5 points outside the top 10 or so in the world on Superbru, so technically I could still make it in on the last day.
As for the actual football, still 5 teams in with a shout of CL football. Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa all level on 66 points. I expect City to make it - even if they lose I can see Villa or Chelsea dropping points. But if Villa, Newcastle and Chelsea all win and Man City don't lose then Villa will be out by manner of their very inferior goal difference to the others.
Man United tend to get beaten a lot at Old Trafford in the league these days, but they still often have Villa's number despite Villa being a better team than them now. A lot might depend on how United do tonight too - win and they go into that game celebrating with a spring in their step. Lose and the place will be like a morgue on Sunday. I expect Villa will be hoping Spurs win tonight.
Newcastle should beat Everton at home. Villa's best bet is to win (obviously) and hope Chelsea don't beat Forest. That's by far their most likely way in after Man City won last night.
