A strong week for Unai Emery's side

Since picking up a 2-1 win against their French opponents last Thursday, Villa continued their good form with a victory over Arsenal.

Unai Emery's side struck twice late on - through Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins - to stun the title-chasing Gunners.

Their performance against Lille in the first leg will still be fresh in their minds as well.

The Premier League side dominated the majority of the game, barring a late strike from Bafodé Diakite.

So, while they may be entering an uncomfortable atmosphere at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, the visitors will be full of confidence.
