Aston Villa will be battling for a spot in the Champions League on the final day of the Premier League season, according to football pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. The team, managed by Unai Emery, will face Manchester United at Old Trafford this Sunday, with a win potentially securing them a place in UEFA’s prestigious club competition. Villa has already shown their prowess in the Champions League this season, reaching the round of 16 and narrowly missing out on a spot in the quarter-finals after a valiant effort against Paris Saint-Germain.
The road to Champions League qualification won’t be easy for Villa, as they need to secure a fourth consecutive win by defeating Manchester United. If they emerge victorious, they will only make it to the Champions League if Chelsea fails to win against Nottingham Forest or if Newcastle United doesn’t beat Everton at home. The outcome of Manchester City’s match against Bournemouth will also play a crucial role, with Villa’s fate potentially resting in their own hands on the final day of the season.
Neville and Carragher have shared their predictions, with Neville expressing confidence in Villa’s ability to secure a Champions League spot if they can defeat Manchester United. Carragher, on the other hand, believes that Chelsea and Nottingham Forest could both miss out on qualification, setting the stage for Villa and Manchester City to claim the coveted spots. The football pundits are divided on the potential outcomes of the matches, but one thing is certain – the race for Champions League football will be intense and unpredictable until the final whistle blows.
