This season, Aston Villa has emerged as the favorite to win the title, alongside Arsenal and Liverpool. However, Manchester United celebrity Gary Nivelli predicted that Villa's "set soccer" will soon meet its Waterloo, not only the Premier League title dream is difficult to fulfill, even the top four will need to rely on luck.
Galli-Nivoli was blunt: "Villa need to change their mindset and with more teams defending against them, Emery must look for a more ground-breaking style of play. At the moment, Villa's tactics are too formulaic and it's hard to break down defenses against tightly structured opponents. I think Villa are a good team and a fifth place finish would be a great result. To finish in the top four would be a miracle. In my opinion, Villa's chances of competing for a European spot will gradually diminish."
