Ollie Watkins's 61st-minute strike earned the Villans a 1-0 victory at the Decathlon Arena last week to put them on course for a quarter-final spot.

Unai Emery will need to rally his troops for Thursday as their first-leg triumph is Villa's only win in their last six games.

Lille, meanwhile, have hit form in recent weeks and won four of their last six games, including a timely victory over in-form Rennes in Ligue 1 on the weekend.

With their Premier League form unravelling in recent weeks, Thursday feels like a pivotal moment in Villa's season.
