Aston Villa's Europa League quest takes them to Lille for the first leg of their last 16 tie.

Ad

Unai Emery's side, who are among the favourites to win Europe's secondary club competition this season, qualified directly for the round of 16 after finishing second in the League Phase table.

Their form has dropped off a cliff in recent weeks, however, and they will make the trip to France on a run of just one win in their last seven games.

Lille overcame a one-goal first-leg deficit to edge past Red Star Belgrade in the play-off round and will relish a shot at revenge against the West Midlands club.

Villa dumped the hosts out of the Conference League quarter-finals on penalties two years ago and can expect a hostile reception at the Decathlon Stadium.
