Aston Villa will face Sunderland on April 19 in a crucial match as the Premier League season approaches its conclusion. Currently sitting fourth in the league, Aston Villa needs a win to secure a Champions League spot, but they arrive fatigued after a tough Europa League quarter-final against Bologna. Both teams will be missing key players, with Aston Villa's goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez uncertain to play and Sunderland's defender Dan Ballard sidelined due to injury. The match is set to kick off at 14:00 Tashkent time, and historical data suggests that Villa Park has been a challenging venue for Sunderland.

The Birmingham side, led by Unai Emery, must win this match to secure their Champions League qualification spot.
The hosts arrive at this encounter in a fatigued state. The team recently played a grueling match against the Italian club Bologna in the Europa League quarter-finals.
Sunderland, meanwhile, proved they could provide serious resistance by playing to a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa in their first-round meeting back in September.
Regarding the squads, both teams have absences. For Aston Villa, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez's participation remains in doubt.
Additionally, Jadon Sancho, Boubacar Kamara, and Ross Barkley will be unable to assist the team. In the visitors' squad, defender Dan Ballard is sidelined until the end of April due to injury.
The match will kick off on April 19 at 14:00 Tashkent time. According to historical data, Villa Park is considered an unfavorable stadium for Sunderland.
However, if Emery's men lose points due to fatigue, they could put their position in the league table at risk.
