Villa are destined to finish fourth in the Championship table, but their opponents in the post-season games have yet to be confirmed.

Regardless of who they face, they will first face an away trip on Saturday May 12th, with kick-off scheduled for 5.15pm.

They will then host their opponents in the second leg just three days later on Tuesday May 15th, with that kick-off scheduled for 7.45pm.

Should they make it to the play-off final, that will take place on Saturday May 26th (kick off 5pm), giving Steve Bruce's side ten days to prepare for the show piece event.

The Villans could face Middlesbrough or Derby County in their semi-final fixtures, depending on how results go on the final day of the season, this Sunday.
