Villa will face opposition from Northern Ireland, Finland or Denmark in next season's Intertoto Cup.

Today's 2-2 draw at West Ham added to Everton's home win against Newcastle means Martin O'Neill's men end the season sixth in the Barclays Premier League.

They therefore enter the Intertoto at the third round stage and will be away in the first-leg on the weekend of July 19/20.

Clubs from 50 nations will enter the last ever Intertoto Cup and will be competing for 11 places in the UEFA Cup second qualifying round.
