Aston Villa vs PSG – Predicted lineup and team news

Aston Villa face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals tonight.

Unai Emery is up against his former side, with Villa aiming to overturn a first-leg defeat in Paris. Villa led at the Parc des Princes but fell to a 3-1 loss, leaving them with a tough task to reach the last four of Europe’s top competition for the first time since 1982.

The Villans bounced back from that defeat in France with a 3-0 win at Southampton in the Premier League at the weekend. Goals from substitutes Ollie Watkins, Donyell Malen and John McGinn did the damage, despite two penalty misses from Marco Asensio. Villa have won eight of their last nine games in all competitions.

Morgan on the task at hand: "We know we're good enough and we believe in our group and the manager. "We're here for a reason, we deserve to be here and have taken on any battle or opportunity this season, especially in this competition." #UCL
