We were for sure out that battle with 6 games to go, however, for the majority of the season we were looking at Villa, hoping they dropped points so yes, a relegation rival. Frustrating our owner can't back us in the market like Villa's or we'd be competing for top 8...

We have to scrape around in the last few days to get deals done and Villa who were our relegation rival last year can pull off signings like this. Shame because with a player like Barkley we would really kick on and be pushing for Europe. Our lack of spending has put us straight back in a relegation battle. https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1311236346745323521 https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2020/september/Villa-announce-Barkley-loan-signing/
