Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish is targeting a top ten finish this season.

Villa, who play at home against Leicester on Sunday, are currently eighth and Grealish admits that is more than he had hoped for after last season's relegation scare.

“It's been a better season than we expected. In our heads, we're all looking at finishing as high as possible," the England midfielder told Villa's official website.

“Whether that be 10th, ninth, eighth, seventh – that's where we should be aiming now in my opinion.

“We're in a good place, we still have a few games in hand, but we have a few sticky games coming up now, which will obviously be tough."
