Jan Kruger/Getty Images Aston Villa defender Pau Torres has acknowledged that the Villans remain wary of Liverpool, indicating it is possible for the Reds to win all their remaining games and threaten their top-four Champions League spot. The Birmingham outfit have dazzled this campaign, remaining unbeaten in 22 of their 31 fixtures and edging closer to securing a return to Europe’s top competition if they can maintain their cushion.

Beyond the conventional top-four route, the Villans have another highway to the Champions League if they win the Europa League at the end of the season. He conceded it is still too early to discount Arne Slot’s Liverpool, who remain capable of winning all their remaining fixtures and posing a formidable threat.

“It’s still too early to talk about Liverpool, because we know their team are capable of winning all their remaining matches. “But as I said, I think that qualifying for the Champions League makes for a perfect season for us, and that’s why we’re going to fight for it until the very end.” Emery’s side are stumbling through a rocky patch, managing just one win in their last five league outings, which has narrowed the gap to Liverpool and prompted a former Aston Villa star to warn that missed chances could see the club fade into mid-table obscurity.
