Unai Emery plays down Aston Villa's top four chances and claims there are SEVEN teams more likely to finish above them after his side's 2-1 triumph over Tottenham

Unai Emery is adamant Aston Villa are not realistic contenders for Champions League qualification - insisting seven clubs have a stronger chance of a top-four finish.

Villa inflicted injury-affected Spurs’ third consecutive loss to move fourth in the Premier League table on Sunday.

But he immediately moved to say his team should not be viewed as top-four challengers, saying: ‘There are seven team who are contenders more than us for the top seven positions, while we are there we are going to try to enjoy it and keep it.
