Aston Villa blog: Leeds will be tough but beatable

Another big club who have fallen on hard times of late, Garry Monk has steadied the ship somewhat and they now look like they are finally pushing up toward the right end of the championship, writes Justin Hawthorne.

It's going to be another test but nothing which should have the Villa players scared, they'll get beaten at some point under Steve Bruce, but I don't think it will be today.

If Villa could grab all three points tonight, and then hosting a lowly Wigan at home, they could be in the playoffs come Christmas - what a present that would be to the fans following a questionable start to the season.
