12:16 pm on 4 May 2010

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City set up a Champions League showdown for Thursday when they both won, knocking Aston Villa out of the race for fourth place.

Spurs beat Bolton Wanderers 1-0 at White Hart Lane while City came from behind at home to beat Villa 3-1.

Spurs now have 67 points with two games to play, with City, who host Tottenham on Wednesday, fifth on 66, also with two games remaining.

Villa, with one game left, are on 64 and cannot now finish fourth.

In other results with little effect on either end of the table, Birmingham City beat relegated Burnley 2-1 at home, long-doomed Portsmouth continued their good late season form with a 3-1 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers while Stoke City played out a nil-all draw with visitors Everton.
