Bournemouth and Aston Villa lock horns in an enticing Premier League duel on Saturday evening.
These two teams both boast European aspirations but are hopeful of qualifying for different competitions. While Bournemouth are aiming to finish in eighth, which would be enough to play in next season's Conference League, Villa still harbour hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
The Cherries have never before competed in a UEFA club competition, and an upsurge over the past few weeks, just when it looked like they were burning out, has greatly bolstered their chances of making history. A first-ever win at the Emirates last week means Andoni Iraola's side enter the weekend in eighth place.
Villa's momentum was halted by Manchester City before they were beaten in the FA Cup semi-finals, but they returned to winning ways last weekend at home to Fulham. The Villans are seventh and on course to qualify for the Europa League, but they're not yet out of top-five contention.
Chelsea are just three points better off in fifth.
