Score and updates as Lamare Bogarde starts for Villa in ‘Battle of Britain’ - The two clubs are still in with a shot of securing a top eight finish and avoiding the two-legged play-off round

Aston Villa and Celtic both harbor hopes of earning byes to the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds, with the hosts at Villa Park on solid footing heading into Wednesday's league phase finale.

Villa, however, are at least guaranteed a place in the play-offs and the same can be said of Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic side. Such has been the strength of the Scottish champions in Europe this season, three points could also see them move straight into the top eight should other results go their way.
