Aston Villa vs PSG team news: Emery and Enrique name lineups in Champions League

Kick-off is fast approaching and the teams are out for tonight’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg clash between Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain.

A sold-out Villa Park crowd awaits in eager anticipation, ready to cheer on their side for what could be a historic comeback victory. The Villans must overcome a two-goal deficit if they are to advance to the last four after losing 3-1 in Paris last week; it’s an incredibly tough task but one Unai Emery and his men will be quietly confident they can achieve.

If history is anything to go by, the impossible could well be possible as PSG have been eliminated on three of the seven occasions they’ve held a two-goal lead from the first leg of a Champions League knockout tie. Villa are definitely the massive underdogs but it’s not over just yet.

Emery has opted for four changes from Saturday’s 3-0 victory away at Southampton, bringing in Pau Torres, Lucas Digne, Boubacar Kamara and John McGinn for Tyrone Mings, Ian Maatsen, Marco Asensio and Jacob Ramsey.

PSG, meanwhile, have opted to replace Lucas Beraldo and Desire Doue with Marquinhos and Bradley Barcola.
