I wouldnt say theres no expectation, the longer you remain in the top 4 and the closer it gets to the crunch the pressure will build and fan expectation will rise. This all happened with Spurs 2-3 years ago, exactly the same as Villa and we got them at the death. I'd rather not be in this situation, its irritating that we arent going for the title, but with the players we have that are due to come back, the player(s) coming in, and the superior experience (and, in my opinion overall quality), i think we'll do it.
That said I do agree Villa are looking good for the future, if you can keep hold of your key players and get a cash injection to strengthen the squad, it'll be a top 5 before too long.
