Aston Villa will aim to give their chances of playing European football again next season a huge boost when they travel to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.
Unai Emery's men are making waves on several fronts - they booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals by beating Championship side Preston North End on Sunday, while they also have a Champions League last eight tie to come against PSG.
But it is the Premier League they will be focusing on against the Seagulls, who are also in the frame for a potential top five finish.
