Ex-Newcastle United coach Alan Pardew says he’s optimistic Aston Villa can win the Premier League this season.
In a chat with talkSport, Pardew thinks they might contend for their first league title in over 44 years.
“I think Liverpool are going to be involved in that conversation and I have a little feeling for Villa if they can just keep the squad in tact,” Pardew told talkSPORT.

“They have definitely got the potential to do a Leicester with that team that he has, particularly the starting XI.
“If they start beating each other a bit more, if Chelsea get involved in that and Newcastle can start nicking points, with Rodri injured City won’t be as secure. I think they (Villa) are a better side this year.
“Newcastle have started better than I expected actually, they have got a great manager, some fantastic players, whether they can keep the momentum going…so far they are going very well.”
