But overtaking sixth-placed Tottenham remains very much a target, and that would happen as early as Saturday if Villa could beat them at home by three goals. Boss Emery said: “We’re three points behind Tottenham, everybody wants to enjoy this moment and play this match with the supporters. “We deserve this opportunity because the last five matches we won at home and those 15 points have helped us be here. “We are playing for one place in Europe and playing against teams like Tottenham, Liverpool and Brighton. At home we’re feeling very strong and competitive and we’re winning difficult matches and playing very well.
