Chelsea and Manchester United are up next in the Premier League, the two teams immediately below Villa, and United will go third if they beat Crystal Palace on Sunday. Now we are not with the possibility to fight for the Premier League, some can feel frustrated, even myself because I have my dreams. "In September I was worried and the objective was to stay in the Premier League. In December I was so happy and excited to get the top-five position and achieve the Champions League. "Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, they are trying to get to us, for them it is a priority to get into the Champions League."
