2023/24 Champions League qualification race: Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man Utd fixtures compared

Qualifying for the 2024/25 Champions League could prove to be a game-changer for some of England's biggest clubs.

While Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are embroiled in a three-horse Premier League title race, the likes of Aston Villa, Tottenham and Manchester United are further behind trying to secure the last spot in the top four.

There's every chance fifth position could be good enough to reach UEFA's flagship club competition as the number of participants increases from 32 to 36, though that still depends on teams' results on the continent from now until the end of the season.

Here are Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man Utd's fixtures final Premier League fixtures compared as each side tries to battle their way to Champions League qualification.

Aston Villa's form in 2023/24 has shaken up the Champions League qualification race and Unai Emery's side look well set to secure a top-four position.

However, there's still plenty of time for things to go wrong at Villa Park. Emery's outfit still have to play five of the Premier League's big six before the campaign ends, starting with a potentially defining clash with Tottenham on Sunday 10 March.

A win in that game could prove crucial, given it's not yet certain that fifth place will be good enough for an extra Champions League spot.

With clashes against Arsenal, Chelsea, Brighton and Liverpool taking place in the last six gameweeks, Villa's Champions League hopes could go down to the wire.
