This is simply a must-win game for Dean Smith’s Aston Villa side if they want to avoid relegation.

With two games remaining, they sit three points off safety so it is vital they close the gap tonight.

By the time kick-off comes around Villa will know how Watford have faired against Manchester City and could well need a win to stay in the division.

Arsenal will jump from tenth to eighth with a victory and move just two points behind north London rivals Tottenham heading into the final day.
