Aston Villa remain in control of the top 4 race

Finishing in the top 4 and all of the riches that come with it remains one of the biggest carrots in the Premier League and Aston Villa look to be on the cusp of achieving it. 
 
Unai Emery’s side have been consistent this term, picking up results against some of the biggest teams in the league and shocking plenty of pundits and EPL betting sites. 
 
Despite a painful Europa Conference League exit in midweek, Villa now sit just 1 win away from the bright lights of Champions League football next term.

European Exit 
 
For Aston Villa, the rigours of playing every couple of days looks to have eventually taken its toll and they crashed out of the Europa Conference League with a bang. 
 
Having been drawn against Greek giants Olympiakos, not many people expected Villa to struggle but they found the Greek outfit tough to stop. 
 
Whilst they had plenty of luck along the away, Olympiakos prevailed 6-2 on aggregate and they will take on Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final. 
 
Unbelievable Unai 

Whilst the disappointment Villa are experiencing following their Europa Conference League exit is still raw, the brass tacks of the Premier League is what Villa need to get back to. 
 
Villa have been superb this season, picking up 20 wins from 36 games played and they are in pole position for a top 4 finish with all EPL betting sites. 
 
It is testament to the work done by Unai Emery and his staff that Villa are in this position and the prospect of Champions League football at Villa Park next season is a very exciting one. 
 
One more win 

Inevitably though, it is never over until it’s over and Aston Villa need to pick up one more victory to be completely assured of their Champions League status next season. 
 
With Tottenham 7 points behind them but with one game in hand, Villa know that one victory from their final two games will get them over the line – regardless of what Spurs do. 
 
Villa take on Liverpool at Villa Park in what should be an epic encounter, before they travel to Crystal Palace on the final day but they are the hot favourites to be playing Champions League football next season with many punters and football betting sites.
