A Premier League win for Aston Villa against visitors Tottenham Hotspur at Villa park on Friday could put them in a strong position from which to qualify for the Champions League.
Sixth-placed Villa narrowly beat Bournemouth 1-0 on May 10 and their tally of 63 points is the same as fifth-placed Chelsea with just two games remaining, whereas Spurs languish in 17th place with 38 points following their 2-0 defeat against Crystal Palace last Sunday.
We say: Aston Villa 4-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Villa's Premier League form has been exceptional and they will be confident of being able to push towards the Champions League spots.
Tottenham are certain to rest many of their starters, and the players on the pitch will have their focus elsewhere, so it would not be surprising if the visitors were comfortably beaten.

Looking to secure an all-important Champions League spot, Chelsea welcome domestic strugglers Manchester United to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Friday night.
The Blues' hopes of top-tier continental football were dented at the base of Newcastle United last time out, whilst the Red Devils suffered a sobering defeat at home to West Ham United.
We say: Chelsea 3-1 Manchester United
Hunting down a spot in the Champions League, Chelsea will be confident of putting a Europa League-focused Man United to the sword on Friday night.
The Red Devils are likely to rest their key players ahead of next week's crunch clash at San Mames, meaning that their winless run in the Premier League should extend to eight games.
