CONFIRMED lineups for Aston Villa v Lille clash

Aston Villa, who are fighting to stay in the European places in the Premier League table as they sit fifth on 60 points, level with Tottenham Hotspur, host Ligue 1 club Lille in the first leg of their Conference League quarter-final.

Unai Emery's men are ambitious and want to lift a trophy this season as well as stay in Europe next campaign. The French side will go to Villa Park on a better run than the Villans as they have not lost any of their last five games - three draws and two wins.

Nevertheless, the home side will be doing everything in their power to try to get closer to the Conference semi-finals. They have lost only one of their last five matches - against Manchester City in the English top-flight.

Aston Villa confirmed lineup: Martinez (GK); Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Bailey, McGinn, Luiz, Rogers; Tielemans and Watkins.

Lille confirmed lineup: Chevalier (GK); Santos, Yoro, Diakite Ismaily; Bentaleb, Andre, Haraldsson; Zhegrova, David and Gudmundsson.
