Whilst I don’t think it’ll be another Leicester, it could be just as spectacular:
Similar-ish scenarios. First season back in the top division. Looked dead and buried then went on an unexpected run to survival at the end of the season. Leicester won 7 of their last 9 games after winning 4 from 29! Villa's record wasn't as impressive but they still survived.

Villa have started the season better than Leicester did in their Premier League winning season.

I think Villa need a class striker if they are to challenge for Europa and probably someone better at the back as well. Little strength in depth there. Leicester didn't have much strength in depth but were fortunate with injuries when they won the league.
