A point does little for Villa's hope of returning to the Champions League next season as they remain in ninth. A challenging fixture awaits Slot's squad as they prepare to face Manchester City away from home on Sunday.

Initially ahead through Mohamed Salah's strike, Liverpool found themselves trailing after Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins turned the tide in Villa's favour.
A deflected effort from Trent Alexander-Arnold brought Liverpool level, yet they should have secured all three points when Darwin Nunez squandered an excellent opportunity after coming off the bench.
The hosts nearly snatched victory in the closing moments, with both Morgan Rogers and Donyell Malen coming close to finding the winner.
An early opportunity for Villa saw Marcus Rashford's cross deflected into the net by Virgil van Dijk, but the effort was nullified due to Rashford being in an offside position.
The breakthrough came at 29 minutes, though Villa were ultimately responsible for their own undoing. Diogo Jota intercepted Andres Garcia's poor backpass and generously set up Salah, who netted his 29th goal of the campaign.
Within nine minutes, Villa equalised when Liverpool's inadequate clearance from a free-kick landed perfectly for Tielemans, who executed a skilful volley into the net.
Jota squandered a golden opportunity to put the visitors ahead, sending his shot well off target despite being one-on-one with Emi Martinez.
Villa capitalised on Liverpool's defensive lapse before the interval, as Watkins found himself unmarked to head Lucas Digne's cross into the distant corner.
Liverpool dominated the second half proceedings, helping Slot maintain his unbeaten away record in the Premier League.
Alexander-Arnold's increasing prominence in the match led to his equalising goal at 60 minutes, with a shot that deflected off Tyrone Mings.
In pursuit of victory, Slot introduced Luis Diaz and Nunez as substitutes, with one of them having a clear opportunity to secure three crucial points.
Presented with an unguarded net after Dominik Szoboszlai's pass, Nunez missed the target, leaving his manager visibly frustrated.
