Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is confident his players can handle the greater scrutiny.
Villa have beaten Manchester City and Arsenal within days this week.
Asked if his players can handle the exposure, Emery said: "It is better for us because we deserve it.
"They are going to speak more about us but still being the same message to you and the supporters.
We are still in there but still being seven teams being more contenders than us to get into the top seven.
"Of course, if we get to day 30, 32 and we are keeping the same position, maybe I can think and send another message."
