Aston Villa manager Unai Emery wants to turn the club into title contenders after reaching the Champions League.

Villa wrapped up fourth spot, qualifying for the Champions League, after Tottenham's 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday.

They go to Crystal Palace for Sunday's final Premier League game of the season 20 points behind leaders Manchester City.

But Emery wants to bridge that gap and take Villa to the next level, as they hunt a first title since 1981.

He said: "It is a dream. It is very difficult. When we were at the beginning of the season playing two matches against City and Arsenal, we won both matches.
