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."
