EPL: 4 teams confirmed for Champions League after Aston Villa thrash Liverpool

At least four Premier League teams have confirmed their Champions League qualification.

This follows Aston Villa’s 4-2 win over Liverpool on Friday night.

Ollie Watkins scored twice, while John McGinn produced a spectacular late effort as Unai Emery’s men outclassed the current champions.

The result takes them to 62 points, two more than Liverpool, with one game left.

They will now join Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United in booking their places in the league phase of next season’s Champions League.

Interestingly, Villa will face Freiburg in the Europa League final next Wednesday.

A victory in that game would have handed the Midlands team automatic qualification for the Champions League. But in that case, the team that finishes in sixth place in the Premier League will qualify.
