European hopefuls Aston Villa and Sunderland meet in the Premier League on Sunday.

The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw by Nottingham Forest last weekend but remain on course to qualify for the Champions League – either via a top-five finish or by winning the Europa League.

With some tough games to come in the final weeks of the season, Unai Emery's side will want to get back to winning ways in the Premier League as soon as possible.

That won't be easy against a Sunderland team that have clicked back into gear and won three of their last four games in the league.

The Black Cats have exceeded expectations in their first season back in the top flight and are part of the pack hunting the European spots.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Aston Villa v Sunderland on TV and online.
