Aston Villa captain John McGinn admits they must stay grounded after breaking into the top four on the weekend.
Victory at Tottenham saw Villa move into the top four on Sunday.
But McGinn said: It's my job and the manager's job to keep a lid on things. We've got a really important month ahead and then after that we can maybe analyse what our ambitions are.
It's our job to just keep going, enjoy the ride and you never know.
It's hard to get the balance, you don't want to get carried away, of course you don't, because in this league, the minute you're doing OK, you get stung. We've experienced that a couple of times.
I think the celebrations at the end on Sunday, as much as we were absolutely over the moon because Tottenham are a good team we've come and beat, they were still muted as well.
We've got a real desire, a focus, a concentration on what we can achieve this season. We want to achieve something we haven't done for a long time.
Last season was our highest finish in the table for a long, long time. Can we go and better that and try to get up there as quickly as possible and keep going, you never know?"
