Europavision: Big Game Lille Away Preview

Unai Emery gets a performance against Arsenal to inspire the season run-in

After indifferent home form this calendar year, Aston Villa's Champions League charge had gone off the rails a little. Conceding cheap goals was undermining a lot of good work. The recent 3-3 draw against Brentford in the league and then conceding a late goal in the 2-1 Europa Conference League win over Lille, was testament to that. With poor results for English teams in Europe last week, the prospect of fifth being enough in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League was under threat, as the English team coefficient rating suffered. The stench of Europa League was in the air for Villa. There was also a sense that if they failed to do the business in Lille in the Europa Conference League 2nd leg, Villa's season might fold in on itself. However, a weekend that served up both Villa's best away performance of the season at Arsenal and a cracking Newcastle display against Spurs, saw Villa rise to fourth spot and suddenly feel a lot more confident about their trip to France this week. Villa's destiny now is very much in their own hands.

SFTW: A Quick Look at Villa's Gunners Situation

Aston Villa earn a one-goal advantage at Villa Park against Lille to take to France

In a week of underperforming English teams in Europe, Aston Villa were the only one to earn a win. Beating Lille 2-1 at Villa Park was a good result, but will they rue conceding a poor goal in the final 10 minutes of the game, when it comes to the second leg in France? It was certainly a game that resulted in mixed emotions. Lille, now have the weekend off, while Villa have a trip to the Emirates to contend with. It's going to be tough in Lille next week for Villa, but at least Unai Emery's boys have given themselves a fighting chance.

Europavision: Advantage Villa but it's Far From Over Against Lille

A semi-final and coefficient points are on the line at Villa Park

It's 26 years since Aston Villa's last European quarter-final, but this time there's more on the line than a semi-final. Villa need positive results in the two legged affair to help with English team's UEFA coefficient rating, which will open up fifth place in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions' League next season. A win against Villa's main threat to lift the Europa Conference League will certainly mean the Unai Emery revolution is about to enter a defining stage.
