The race for Champions League qualification is the sole focus tonight as Manchester City and Aston Villa meet at the Etihad Stadium. With the top five in the Premier League all qualifying for Europe’s top table for the first time next season, the battle for those valuable spots has never been fiercer. Just three points separate Nottingham Forest in third and Villa in seventh.

It was a nightmare weekend for fourth-placed Newcastle, who were thumped by Villa as all their top-five rivals win, including Chelsea’s injury-time win at Fulham on Sunday and Forest withstanding a barrage from Tottenham last night. City won at Everton and now are looking to win three Premier League games on the bounce for the first time since October.

Villa scored four over Newcastle, just days after a gruelling loss on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, but will a third huge game in eight days be too much for Unai Emery’s squad? Changes are expected from both team, including a possible start for Marcus Rashford against his parent club’s rivals. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
