Aston Villa host Olympiacos in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final clash on Thursday, with Unai Emery's men desperate to take an advantage to Greece.

Villa beat Lille on penalties in the quarter-finals thanks to Emi Martínez's heroics - however, they'll be without the Argentina No. 1 for Thursday's clash through suspension.

Martínez was also forced off in Villa's 2-2 draw against Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, with the goalkeeper fighting to be fit for the second leg next week.

Emery's side, who would play either Fiorentina or Club Brugge if they reach the final, are desperate to lift the Europa Conference League this season for what would be their first major trophy since 1996.

As well as hoping to pick up silverware, Villa are battling to finish in the top four to secure Champions League football for next season.
