Birmingham - Tom Cleverley scored his third goal in three games as Aston Villa edged West Ham United 1-0 on Saturday to move four points above the Premier League relegation zone.
The on-loan Manchester United midfielder tapped in a cross from Jack Grealish in the 31st minute to give Villa back-to-back home wins for the first time in 14 months and nudge Tim Sherwood's side closer to safety.
Villa, who will tackle holders Arsenal in the FA Cup final on May 30, now require three points from their final two games away to Southampton and at home to relegated Burnley to make sure of survival.
