Aston Villa are on the verge of reaching their first major European semi-final in the modern era as they host Bologna tonight.
Unai Emery’s side holds a commanding 3-1 lead from the first leg in Italy, thanks to a ruthless second half brace from Ollie Watkins.
Villa Park has become a genuine fortress in Europe, with the team winning their last eight home continental matches in a row.Team news is positive for the Villans as Jadon Sancho is expected to return to the matchday squad after recovering from a shoulder injury.
However, a late fitness test will be required for goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who was forced to pull out of the warm-up before Sunday’s draw with Nottingham Forest.
Should Villa progress, they are set to face either FC Porto or their Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest in the semi-finals.
