Aston Villa find themselves in 7th in the Premier League, two spots shy of the top-five that will secure Champions League football again next season, but only three points shy.

Forest are just above Villa in sixth on 61 points, and then it's Chelsea and Newcastle, who play each other on Sunday, on 63 points, with Man City 3rd on 64 points. A win would keep Villa in the hunt in the crowded race, but defeat would surely leave them with an impossible task from the final two games.

As for Bournemouth, Andoni Iraola's side have slipped recently and find themselves in 8th, one place behind Villa but some seven points back. Nevertheless, Europe is still on the radar for the Cherries, as a 7th place finish could yet secure Europa League football if Man City win the FA Cup final.

A home victory would therefore really have the visitors sweating.
