But the stand-out for us comes as Aston Villa and Celtic go toe-to-toe - both with chances of finishing inside that top eight position. Villa go into the game in ninth, only behind eighth placed Leverkusen on goal difference. They'd have had a much kinder final match day had they not flopped in Monaco last week, losing 1-0 to the French side.
Throwing away a lead to end up hanging on for a draw at home to West Ham a few days ago, Villa have stumbled since that terrific come-from-behind draw at the Emirates. Celtic's eyes were just on a top-24 spot heading into their penultimate match day against Young Boys last week.
A late, fortunate OG secured that and they now have an outside chance of a top-eight spot. In reality, they'll be glad to have secured knockout stage football of any kind and can come here with the pressure off. But the departure of talisman Kyogo this week and the absence of Daizen Maeda through suspension really harms their chances of causing an upset south of the border.
