Aston Villa are 'proper top four contenders' after their win over Man City, claims Chris Sutton, as he hails their 'absolutely phenomenal' home form under Unai Emery on It's All Kicking Off

Chris Sutton has hailed the work of Unai Emery at Aston Villa after their impressive 1-0 win over champions Manchester City and believes they are 'proper top four contenders'.

Leon Bailey scored a late winner against Pep Guardiola's side at Villa Park on Wednesday night to record their third win in four games and move them above City and into third in the Premier League table.

It continues an amazing season that has already seen them beat Chelsea and Tottenham and they will be seen as serious contenders to claim a place in Europe's elite should they continue their upward trajectory.
