England international Chris Waddle believes the only thing that could stop Aston Villa competing for the Premier League title this season is fatigue and injuries.Unai Emery's side have won 15 of their last 17 games, including their last nine in a row, six of which have come in the league - anew club record.
After a poor start to the campaign, Villa have been in blistering form over the past three months and closed the gap on league leaders Arsenal to just three points after a dramatic late victory over them two weeks ago.
