Hills expect Villa to finish outside the Champions League spots, offering 1/7 that they finish between fifth and tenth and 33/1 to get relegated.
Hills make Villas game against Stoke on Monday a 7/4 chance to be Houlliers first win while their match against Bolton next week is 11/8. For them to win no games by the end of October is 28/1.
