Aston Villa Ollie Watkins 'very confident' qualifying for Champions League

Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins is confident they will qualify for the Champions League.

The Midlands club are facing a huge battle against Tottenham to grab fourth place in the Premier League.

Despite drawing 3-3 at the weekend against Brentford, Watkins believes they will get over the line.

After scoring two goals in the game, he stated: “I felt this season I had a lot to prove to people and I still do, so I'm just trying to focus on bringing the best I can to the team.

“Proving people wrong, scoring goals and trying to break some records.

“But, above all, trying to help the team get into the Champions League, which will be massive for us, from where we've come and when I joined the club, I didn't expect to hopefully be playing Champions League football.

“But I'm very confident in the manager and the squad that we can do that. I'm really looking forward to the next six games we've got in the league and Europa Conference League."
