Aston Villa sit second but level on points with Legia Warsaw, who are first. They play each other on MD5 with Villa as hosts. Legia won 3-2 in the reverse so victory here for Unai Emery\u2019s team by two goals or more guarantees top spot for them by virtue of head-to-head, while a draw would leave them second ahead of a final fixture away to Zrinjski. One point from two games guarantees at least second for Villa.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s already all over for Aberdeen, who are third but with no competition to drop down to. They are seven points behind Eintracht Frankfurt, ten behind PAOK and one point above Finnish side HJK, who they play tonight in a battle to avoid coming last.<\/p>\n
