Champions League qualification is the name of the game when Aston Villa host Liverpool in the Premier League under the Friday night lights.
The two teams are four points ahead of sixth-placed Bournemouth and victory for either would rubber-stamp their place in next season’s European competition, while a draw could leave both in the position of needing a result on the final day.
Last Sunday’s 2-2 draw at relegated Burnley made it three games in a row without a Premier League win for Aston Villa, although they have been stretched by their run to the Europa League final in that period.
The Villans meet Freiburg in next Wednesday’s Europa showpiece and Unai Emery might be tempted to rest a big hitter or two to keep them fresh.
Liverpool are also on a winless streak after last Saturday’s 1-1 draw against struggling Chelsea followed a 3-2 defeat at bitter rivals Man Utd. Arne Slot will be eager to seal a Champions League spot as the Reds have a tricky final-day fixture against European hopefuls Brentford.
