Aston Villa captain John McGinn admits the players are excited to be chasing Champions League qualification.
Villa meet Chelsea later on Saturday.
McGinn said: We're so close. I'm telling the boys, 12 years I've been in professional football and have been watching the Champions League on the telly, now let's be part of that.
There are a lot of them who have not been involved in it and they won't take it for granted.
We're close now but there is still a long way to go.
We don't really have a points target. In my mind I have a certain one, which I'm not going to share. But if we can get over 70 it will be very difficult for Tottenham but we know they are very capable as well."
