Aston Villa vs. Sunderland: What's the story?

Villa are in the Europa League semi-finals, but they cannot afford to take their eye off the ball in the Premier League, with the team battling for a top-five finish.

Unai Emery's side are currently fourth in the table, seven points ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea, and they will be bidding to record a 17th Premier League win of the season on Sunday.

Sunderland, meanwhile, are looking to record a 13th Premier League victory of the campaign, and it has been a terrific season for the Black Cats back in the top flight.

The visitors are 11th in the division and in no danger of being relegated, while they are still very much in the mix when it comes to a potential European spot.

Villa have only lost one of their last 13 league games against Sunderland, recording six wins in the process, while they will enter this match off the back of an excellent European performance, beating Bologna 4-0 in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday night.
