Match Preview

Aston Villa still have two cracks at qualifying for next season's Champions League - a top-five finish and winning the Europa League - and they remain on course to do both.

Unai Emery's side have struggled in the Premier League in recent months, winning just four of their last 14 games, but with Chelsea and Manchester United meeting at Stamford Bridge, three points would go a long way to securing their return to Europe's elite competition.

Sunderland's season looked to be faltering away, but consecutive wins over Newcastle and Tottenham either side of the international break has them right in the hunt for European football - sitting just two points behind sixth-place Chelsea.

The Black Cats have won just two of their 15 Premier League trips to Villa Park - both by the same 1-0 scoreline.
