UNAI EMERY has urged Aston Villa's players to "test their limits" and prove they can finish in the top eight of the Champions League.
Villa's boss heads into the Red Bull Arena tonight knowing victory over the hosts is likely to leave him needing just one more triumph from the final two matchdays to seal the deal.
That will enable Villa to miss a play-off round and take them into the last 16.
If they are successful tonight, one more win against either Celtic or Monaco could be enough to see the Villans progress.
"My expectation and my liking to play this match is because of how we can break our limit," said Emery.
