MATCH SUMMARY
Villa face Liverpool on the final day and the youngsters are unsurprisingly beaten by the champions to leave Villa in fifth place but the final table is incomplete with Forest, a point behind still having three games to play, whilst Wolves have two. When the final games are completed Villa sit 7th in the table falling behind Forest and Wolves in the final round of matches.
