Villa and Rovers meet for the fifth and final time this season
Aston Villa and Blackburn have seen plenty of each other this season and meet again on the final day.
Sunday will see the two sides go head-to-head for the fifth time over the course of the 2009/10 campaign.
They were paired together in the third round of the FA Cup and the semi-finals of the Carling Cup, with Villa enjoying the better fortune.
The last time they met was in the second leg of their last four showdown in the Carling Cup, with Martin O'Neill's side prevailing 6-4 in a thrilling encounter.
While Rovers have had to endure plenty of heartache against Villa this season, they did take the spoils in the reverse fixture in the league back in September.
Villa will be looking to make amends this time around, but have kept a clean sheet on the final day just once in the last 11 seasons.
Rovers have fared little better in their last fixture of the season in recent times, taking only one win from their last six outings at that stage of the campaign.
They have also won only one of their last 10 meetings with Villa in all competitions, with that solitary success coming at Ewood Park this season.
Villa are already assured of Europa League qualification for next season but will be looking to finish as high as possible, with fifth place still not beyond them.
Rovers have been able to steer clear of trouble during the latter stages of the season and will have their sights set on the top half of the table.

Aston Villa boss O'Neill has a full-strength squad to select from this weekend.
