UNAI'S UP FOUR IT

Emery: Now Villa are contenders

- RICHARD LEWIS

UNAI EMERY has urged his Aston Villa squad to grasp the chance of securing Champions League football.

Villa could take a big step towards clinching fourth spot tonight with victory at home to inconsistent Chelsea.

After a mixed run of form at the end of March and start of April, Villa have bounced back with key wins over Arsenal and Bournemouth to open up a six-point gap to fifth-placed Tottenham, although the North Londoners have two matches in hand.
