Aston Villa have been struggling to get going in recent times. They haven’t registered a win in their last six games, which is a bit worrying fact. Their latest game saw them settled for a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
The Villans are scheduled to face Juventus at home in the Champions League on Wednesday night. It will be an opportunity for them to get back into winning ways. However, it won’t be an easy game even with crowd support.
Defence
Emi Martinez has the tendency to stand tall on big occasions. A lot will be expected of him when he operates between the sticks. Matty Cash should start the game as the right-back ahead of Lamare Bogarde.
As Ezri Konsa is injured and unavailable, the centre-back duo of Pau Torres and Diego Carlos remains intact. They will have a big role to play if the Villans want to win the tie. Lucas Digne is also expected to return after left-back Ian Maatsen failed to impress in the previous game.

Midfield
Unai Emery will have to do without the services of Boubacar Kamara and Amadou Onana as they are injured. In such a case, he is unlikely to alter any of Ross Barkley and Youri Tielemans in the middle of the park.
Unfortunately, Jacob Ramsey is also set to miss this fixture due to an injury.
Attack
Morgan Rogers and John McGinn are definitely joining the offensive attack for the side. On the other hand, Leon Bailey was terrible in the previous game but might not face any heat. It will be an important game for him to prove himself.
As usual, Ollie Watkins leads the front line and remains a key figure in the side.
