Aston Villa and Juventus will go head-to-head in the Champions League on Wednesday night at Villa Park, as Unai Emery’s side look to snap their winless run in Europe’s premier competition.

The Villans had lost each of their last four games before being held to a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at the weekend, with a 1-0 defeat to Club Brugge last time out in the Champions League. Juventus on the other hand have won two of their four games in Europe this season but were beaten by Lille last time out, while they held AC Milan to a 0-0 draw at the San Siro at the weekend.

Both teams have got their own injury problems to contend with ahead of this clash, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expect them to lineup.

Emery has had to deal with several key players being missing in the recent clash with Palace, and two of those players look set to return in midweek. Ezri Konsa suffered a hip injury with England and Boubacar Kamara missed the game with a knock but both have been included in the squad for this game. Jacob Ramsey and Amadou Onana however have not made it and won’t feature.

Matty Cash returned to training recently but only started on the bench against Palace, although he came on at half-time to prove his fitness ahead of this game.

With key players suffering injuries, Emery’s side is likely to pick itself at this stage. First-choice full-backs Cash and Lucas Digne should return, with £37.5m man Ian Maatsen failing to take his chance at the weekend against Palace at left-back. Konsa is unlikely to be rushed back and could find himself on the bench ahead of the clash with Chelsea at the weekend.

Jaden Philogene will be pushing for a rare start but the experience of Jamaica star Leon Bailey will likely win out, while Ollie Watkins should continue up front ahead of Jhon Duran, while £33m man Emi Buendia must settle for a place on the bench once more.
