West Bromwich Albion midfielder Chris Brunt is keen to secure their Premier League safety as quickly as possible.
WBA face Villa, Stoke, QPR, Leicester and Crystal Palace as well as Saturday's home game with Southampton and a tough visit to Manchester City.
"I don't think you're ever safe until somebody tells you you can't get caught," said Brunt, who played at left-back in Saturday's goalless draw at Sunderland.
"We saw that last year and we're very aware our last four or five fixtures are going to be very difficult for us to pick up a lot of points.
"It's important we get as many points on the board as we can now."
