Aston Villa still has work to do to secure Champions League qualification. Nottingham Forest is almost safe from relegation.Three days after meeting in the Europa League semifinals, Villa and Forest returned to Premier League action and neither got the win they really wanted.Villa was held 2-2 at already relegated Burnley and stayed in fifth place, four points above sixth-place Bournemouth in the race to finish in the top five and get into the Champions League. Both teams have two games left and both still have to play title-chasing Manchester City.Villa's players have another possible route into next season's Champions League: By winning the Europa League.If they do that and finish fifth in the league, then the team that places sixth currently Bournemouth, though Brighton is only two points further back would also get into Europe's top competition.Forest equalized in the 88th minute through England midfielder Elliot Anderson to grab a 1-1 draw with Newcastle and move seven points clear of the relegation zone.If third-to-last West Ham loses to first-place Arsenal later, Forest will be mathematically safe. Arsenal will be desperate for a win to restore its five-point lead over second-place Man City.In another game Sunday, Crystal Palace twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with Everton.___Steve Douglas is at https://twitter.com/sdouglas80___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Jamie Redknapp has questioned Arsenal's decision to move Declan Rice to right-back during their Premier League clash with West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday.Ben White was forced out of the match in the capital, with the right-back injured following a collision with Crysencio Summerville.Despite having two defenders on the bench, however, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta opted to move Rice out of position.Instead of calling on either Cristhian Mosquera or Piero Hincapie, Martin Zubimendi was introduced to the fray instead.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayRice has been sensational for Arsenal this season.Yet playing him out of position, in a game of such enormous magnitude, has raised eyebrows.Arteta has, to his credit, already rectified his mistake by bringing on Mosquera and reverting Rice back to his original position.Nonetheless, speaking at half-time, Redknapp expressed his shock in no uncertain terms."Playing Rice at right back was one of the strangest decisions I've seen this season," he said."I couldn't get my head around it."LATEST SPORTS NEWS:Transgender athlete wins three events as protest erupts at US track meetLuke Littler puts dream career move on hold because of girlfriend Faith MillarRory McIlroy forced to intervene after crowd incident at Truist ChampionshipArsenal started the better of the two teams, with West Ham goalkeeper Mads Hermansen called into action.But their momentum dipped when Rice moved to full-back, with the Hammers ending the half the stronger of the two sides.For White, the Arsenal defender now faces an anxious wait to learn the severity of his injury.The former Brighton star has been a key player for Arteta this term and, with the north London titans in the Champions League final, will be dreaming of silverware.He's also returned to the international scene with England, too, as next month's World Cup approaches.Yet White looked emotional after his withdrawal, suggesting his campaign may have ended prematurely.Redknapp wasn't the only pundit astonished by Arteta's decision to move things around after White's substitution.Gary Neville remarked: "I'm stunned."Taking him out of the middle of the pitch is a big call."Redknapp added: "Arsenal lost momentum when Rice went to right back."They lost a physical presence in the middle of the pitch with Zubimendi coming on."A point would be disappointing for Arsenal.
