Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has urged his players to embrace the pressure of challenging for Europe.
The Midlands club are firmly in the fight for a Champions League or Europa League finish through the Premier League.
With a 1-0 win over Fulham, they moved into fifth place, and will take on Manchester United at the weekend.
Ex-Arsenal coach Emery told reporters this week: I like to play under pressure. To be under pressure is because we have something to lose.
I like to play key matches.
"I am going to analyze the Fulham match and prepare for Manchester United. I can start now to enjoy the match on Sunday.
"Playing now for something like we are doing, and being a candidate for a Europa League position, is very exciting.
If we are competing, like we are now doing, and being the candidate to be in the Europa positions, I think it is a very good moment to go there."
