Relegated Southampton will look for just their third win of a miserable season, when they host Champions League quarter finalists Aston Villa at St Mary's on Saturday. Last Sunday's 3-1 defeat at Spurs confirmed the Saints return to the Championship, but in truth, they have been resigned to their fate since the early stages of the campaign. Manager Ivan Juric left the club in the wake of that loss to Spurs and it remains to be seen who will be in the dugout for the Saints this weekend.
Villa are still firmly in the race for a Champions League spot next season, after a run of three consecutive Premier League victories. However, they came unstuck on Wednesday night in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final against PSG. Despite a brave rearguard effort, Villa fell to a 3-1 defeat and now have a mountain to climb in order to reach the semi finals for the first time in over 40 years.

Our Southampton vs Aston Villa Prediction
Southampton's confidence has been at rock bottom all season and it is hard to see them putting up much of a fight against an in-form Villa side. Despite Wednesday's loss in Paris, Unai Emery's team are playing their best football of the season and look primed to make a late run for the top five. Emery is likely to rest a few players ahead of Tuesday's home leg against PSG, but Villa's squad depth is excellent and regardless of who starts this game, we expect them to tear through a beleaguered home defence. Our prediction for Southampton vs Aston Villa is: Aston Villa (-2) to win.
