Unai Emery has confirmed his Aston Villa team as they aim to maintain their 100% record in the league phase with a victory over Viking FK at Villa Park this evening.
The hosts have started their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 3-2 victory away at Club Brugge and a 6-0 thrashing over Fenerbahçe last time out, so could take another big step towards reaching the knockout stages with a third straight success tonight.
Viking FK are attempting to break new ground on their debut in this competition and produced a sensational display as they held European giants Bayern München to a 3-3 draw and picked up their first ever league phase point.
As far as team news for the Premier League side is concerned, Villa have suffered a few injury setbacks in recent weeks and are without Amadou Onana, Matteo Ruggeri, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and star man Johan Manzambi.
Aston Villa team to play Viking FK
Suzuki, Lindelöf, Mings, Barkley, McGinn, Buendia, Jackson, Pau, Mbaye, Gomes, Alysson.
