Aston Villa made it three wins in a row in all competitions on the weekend with a 1-0 win in the capital over Brentford in the Premier League, taking them up to eighth in the table and within just three points of the top five as they continue their push for European football next season.
Unai Emery’s side took a large step into taking Aston Villa to their first Champions League quarter final appearance in 42 years after two late goals gave them a 3-1 win over the Belgian champions.
The Villans are still very much in the hunt for a top five finish in the league, which is likely to be enough to qualify for next season’s Champions League, in which they have their place in the last eight pencilled in, while the West Midlands club are also second favourites for the FA Cup with a kind quarter final draw, in what could still prove to be a very successful season.
Aston Villa have lost only one of their last eight matches and are unbeaten at home since October in all competitions, a run stretching 15 matches.

Club Brugge make the trip to the West Midlands 3-1 down from their first home leg despite having already beaten the Villans in the league phase of the Champions League earlier this season.
Nicky Hayen’s side will be disappointed with last week’s result but will back themselves to spring an upset to book their place in the quarter finals having knocked out reigning Europa League champions Atalanta with a 3-1 away win in the second leg in the last round of this competition.
The defending Belgian champions have won only one of their last four matches in all competitions, but are unbeaten in their last five matches away from home, albeit winning only two of their last seven.
The Bruggelings did manage to get back to winning ways after last Tuesday’s defeat to the Villans to keep hold of second place in the Jupiler Pro League, though are still nine points off the pace in the title race in their bid for a sixth league title in seven seasons.
