Aston Villa boss Emery worried about Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool threat in battle for top-four finish

"I know it's going to be very difficult to keep the position because we have three teams behind us in Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool. They have the power to get us. The challenge is to keep the advantage we have now."

"It was the coach's second or third match coaching Wolverhampton and we won. We didn't deserve to win and they performed fantastically. They played a fantastic game. I remember it. Chelsea had two penalties in two minutes, not clear for me. Against Arsenal, they drew against the best team in the Premier League and maybe the world."

"This is a derby and they are playing at home with their supporters. We must enjoy what we are doing. Each day is something we must embrace."

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery acknowledges the difficulty of maintaining third position in the Premier League as Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea close the gap. Villa have won only one of their last four league games, allowing rivals to gain ground. Currently three points ahead of fourth-placed United and six ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool, Villa play Wolves tomorrow night with an opportunity to increase their advantage. Despite Wolves' poor season, Emery respects their quality, citing their impressive performance in the reverse fixture and strong showings against top teams. He emphasizes the importance of enjoying the competitive battle and maintaining focus on securing Champions League qualification.
