MATCH PREVIEW
Ten games to go. Squeaky bum time? Well, that phrase was really coined for a tussle at the top of the Premier League, so - without getting too anatomical - I think we need to go another descriptive level up to properly capture the tension around these two clubs.The need for points is much more pressing now than when they met in the same league positions at Villa Park just over three months ago, when a Christian Benteke header settled things in Aston Villa's favour and lifted them out of the bottom three.
With Wigan not in league action this
weekend, that's the prize for the winners this time too - leaving the
losers in the mire.
I worry for Reading. It looked as though they'd cracked
it when taking 10 points from a possible 12 from January to February,
but three defeats in a row have put them back to square one. Losing 3-0
to Wigan in their last home game was a massive blow, continuing their
failure to beat any team in the bottom five all season.
With the worst away record in the division, and trips to Manchester United and Arsenal next up, you can see why they absolutely must get points from this, and their next home game against Southampton.
Villa played well against Manchester City on Monday - but lost. It's been the story of many a game for Paul Lambert's young team this season, with naivety and inexperience costing them time and again. If games only lasted 45 minutes this season then Villa would be 12th - and eight points clear of the bottom three! A hypothetical, yet revealing, statistic. They've just not yet learned how to last the course.
It is though perhaps also telling that they've not taken any more tankings since their three-game meltdown that ended 2012. The league games they've won and lost since have all been by the odd goal. Villa are getting there - but quickly enough? We might not know that until Wigan away on 19 May. Journey's end.
