Villa qualified for the Champions League with victory, and Liverpool are currently occupying the final Premier League qualifying spot.
Unfortunately for Xabi Alonso, he will not be managing Chelsea in the Champions League in his first season at Stamford Bridge, as the Blues cannot make it.
Brighton are also still in with an outside chance of qualifying for the European elite next season.
JattvibeSport can reveal how Bournemouth can still qualify for the Champions League on the final day.

What do Bournemouth need to qualify for the Champions League on the final day?
Bournemouth need a handful of results to go their way, including their own.
Firstly, they will need at least a point to guarantee they finish above Brighton, as the Seagulls’ goal difference is +5 better prior to the final day.
Bournemouth sit three points ahead of them, and have a clash with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
They will also need two results, involving Aston Villa and Liverpool, to go their way.
Aston Villa won the Europa League on Wednesday night, meaning if they finish fifth, the Premier League will not have the five Champions League qualifiers through their coefficient ranking.
Villa qualified with the Europa League victory.
Bournemouth need Villa to lose away at Man City and fall to fifth, and for Liverpool to beat Brentford at Anfield and climb to fourth.
However, Bournemouth could also make it on points difference, if they can beat Forest and Brentford beat Liverpool, with a six-goal swing in their favour.
Brighton can also just about still make it, provided Bournemouth lose, they win at United, and the other two top five results go their way.
