Manchester City host Europa League winners Aston Villa for what looks set to be the final game of the Pep Guardiola era. It has been reported that Guardiola will leave the Etihad Stadium after 10 trophy-laden seasons and he will want to depart on a high, despite falling short in the Premier League title race. Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, which came hot on the heels of last weekend’s FA Cup triumph, had City waving the white flag in their bid to catch Arsenal at the top of the table. Villa also lifted silverware in the last week after Wednesday’s 3-0 defeat of Freiburg saw them capture the Europa League. It capped off a cracking campaign for Unai Emery’s side, who will play in next season’s Champions League, and the Spanish boss could ring the changes due to the quick turnaround. Fans of Bournemouth and Brighton will be hoping for a City victory to increase the chances of Villa finishing fifth in the table thus securing Champions League football for the team that ends sixth. …

Aston Villa are looking to lift their first major trophy in 30 years when they face Freiburg in the Europa League final on Wednesday evening. The Villans make the trip to Istanbul in a buoyant mood after last Friday’s 4-2 victory over Liverpool secured their place in next season’s Champions League. Aston Villa boast, arguably, the best man in the dugout in their bid for silverware as Unai Emery has won the Europa League on four previous occasions. Emery is hoping that Victor Lindelof will be fit to feature after being forced off at halftime against Liverpool. The ex-Man United ace has been starting in midfield in recent weeks amid Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara’s absences. Freiburg are chasing history themselves and head to Istanbul in search of a maiden European title in their first continental final. Not only that, the German club need to win the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League after finishing seventh in the Bundesliga. Julian Schuster’s side rounded off their league campaign by smashing RB Leipzig 4-1 on …

BIRMINGHAM, England, May 15 : Ollie Watkins scored twice as Aston Villa eased to a 4-2 Premier League victory over Liverpool on Friday to seal Champions League qualification for next season and leave their visitors looking over their shoulder at the chasing pack. The win moves Villa into fourth place with 62 points from their 37 games, leapfrogging their opponents, who have 59 points from the same number of matches. Liverpool remain vulnerable to being caught by both Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion in the race for a Champions League place as they slipped to a 12th defeat of the season with a single point from the last nine available. Morgan Rogers gave Villa a first half lead before Virgil van Dijk equalised for Liverpool early in the second period and then got another in added time. But Watkins’ double and a brilliant late fourth from John McGinn sealed the win for Unai Emery’s side, who head into Wednesday’s Europa League final against Freiburg in buoyant mood. “We had to get over line,” McGinn …

Champions League qualification is the name of the game when Aston Villa host Liverpool in the Premier League under the Friday night lights. The two teams are four points ahead of sixth-placed Bournemouth and victory for either would rubber-stamp their place in next season’s European competition, while a draw could leave both in the position of needing a result on the final day. Last Sunday’s 2-2 draw at relegated Burnley made it three games in a row without a Premier League win for Aston Villa, although they have been stretched by their run to the Europa League final in that period. The Villans meet Freiburg in next Wednesday’s Europa showpiece and Unai Emery might be tempted to rest a big hitter or two to keep them fresh. Liverpool are also on a winless streak after last Saturday’s 1-1 draw against struggling Chelsea followed a 3-2 defeat at bitter rivals Man Utd. Arne Slot will be eager to seal a Champions League spot as the Reds have a tricky final-day fixture against European hopefuls Brentford. Radio …
