Aston Villa host Liverpool on Friday Night Football, live on Sky Sports, with both teams knowing a victory will secure Champions League football for next season.
Aston Villa are fifth in the Premier League table and Liverpool are fourth. Both clubs have 59 points with the Reds having a superior goal difference by eight.
A victory for either side will put them seven points clear of sixth-placed Bournemouth, who play title-chasing Manchester City on Tuesday.
The losing team could still be overtaken by the Cherries or seventh-placed Brighton, who play Leeds on Sunday, while a draw would put both clubs still in Bournemouth's grasp.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool odds and score prediction
Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:
Liverpool's away games under Arne Slot are developing a very clear pattern and the market still isn't aligned to it.
For a side blessed with so much attacking quality, Liverpool are becoming remarkably conservative starters on the road. They've scored just four first-half goals across their last 18 away matches in all competitions, meaning Liverpool under 0.5 first-half goals has landed in 13 of those games - a hefty 72 per cent strike-rate.
Slot has prioritised control over chaos away from Anfield, slowing games down early, limiting transitions and keeping Liverpool compact rather than blowing teams away from the first whistle like we often saw under Jurgen Klopp.
Villa Park under the lights is one of the toughest starts in the league for any visiting side and Unai Emery's team are usually well drilled in the opening stages, especially against elite opposition where they're happy to stay compact and frustrate.
his has all the makings of another cagey first 45 minutes where Liverpool probe patiently rather than overwhelm, so the under 0.5 Liverpool first-half goals angle at 11/10 with Sky Bet is a great starting point.
