Villa are next to bottom but have a game in hand.
Win that and they're out of bottom 3.
A better way would be wait for the first 3 teams in the Prem to go bust and replace them with the top 3 in the Championship (that are still solvent), repeat through Leagues one & two.
We should then have small enough divisions to get the number of games played down.
Then we can have FA Cup replays and they won't need such big squads.
