What is the team news?

Villa were notably missing Amadou Onana and Ezri Konsa after the duo suffered injuries while on international duty, and both remain a doubt for the match in midweek, though Emery hasn’t ruled them out.

However, Boubacar Kamara and Jacob Ramsey, who were injured against Liverpool before the break, both remain as more long-term doubts.

Matty Cash and Lucas Digne could return to the starting 11 after both featuring at the weekend, while Ross Barkley will likely deputise if Onana is absent. Elsewhere, expect Pau Torres to keep his place at centre-back – likely alongside Diego Carlos is Konsa if unfit. In midfield, Youri Tielemans should feature as one of two holding players, with Ollie Watkins leading the line and Leon Bailey, Morgan Rogers and John McGinn behind him.

For Juventus, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal are two long-term absentees, with both having suffered ACL injuries. Ex-Villa midfielder Douglas Costa is likely to miss out due to a muscular problem, while key attacker Dusan Vlahovic sat out the draw with Milan, though the Old Lady harbour hopes that he’ll at least be fit enough to be part of the matchday squad.

Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik also sat out last weekend’s match, while American Weston McKennie is a doubt after coming off at the weekend, with Timothy Weah and Nicolas Fagioli in line to replace him.

Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Barkley, Tielemans; Bailey, Rogers, McGinn, Watkins.

Juventus XI: Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Yildiz, Koopmeiners, Weah.
