What are the 'one or two dangers lurking under the surface' at Villa?published at 11:58 BST 22 April

I was lucky to be covering the match of the weekend at Villa Park and bold enough to predict there would be quite a few goals - but maybe it wasn't that brave considering the two attack-minded teams.
When you get two well-matched teams playing in a situation where one side desperately wants to win, but the other needs to win, the usual outcome is the team who needs the victory gets it. These were the stakes at Villa Park, Unai Emery's men simply had to get all three points to get back in the Champions League-chasing pack.
Newcastle are safely in that elite group, for the moment, so they could afford the odd defeat.
Villa won easily but can they keep the impressive run going, with this streak of high-stress, difficult games not stopping any time soon?
Next up is Manchester City, not the easiest of away games and then the FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace. There may well be a cup final and a top-five finish on the horizon and they look to me to be in better shape than any of their challengers.
The depth and quality are stunning. Amadou Onana, Marcus Rashford, Donyell Malen and Jacob Ramsey were fabulously effective substitutes on Saturday, and there are still more top players in reserve.
Considering the tactical brilliance of the manager, the top-level recruitment in every transfer window as well - as the balance and age of the squad right now - there is a decent argument that they are as likely as anyone to be challenging Liverpool for the title next season.
There are one or two dangers lurking under the surface, though. Tiresome sustainability rules must be carefully managed, but even they pale in comparison with the fear of Unai Emery being lured away.
It would take a Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or the like, but considering the job he has done at Villa, do not be surprised if the richest clubs started sniffing around.
I hope he isn't tempted, because what he has at Villa may well be perfectly suited to him.
