Villa take on West Brom at The Hawthorns on Tuesday evening knowing that they will book their place in the play-off final at Wembley if they manage to avoid defeat.
Dean Smith’s men go into this second leg with a one goal advantage thanks to their second-half comeback at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon.
With 75 minutes gone it looked like Villa might be heading into Tuesday night with a one goal deficit to make up, but a stunning strike from Conor Hourihane and a penalty from Tammy Abraham ensured that this isn’t the case.
Villa’s chances of making it to Wembley were improved when Dwight Gayle picked up his second yellow card of the game when he clattered into Jed Steer with just two minutes of normal time remaining.
West Brom’s top scorer will now be suspended for tomorrow’s match, while Hal Robson-Kanu is also suspended after picking up a red card on the final day of the season.
Here is our predicted Villa XI for tomorrow’s second-leg play-off semi-final against West Brom:
