Last Thursday's meeting in Amsterdam was the first between the sides in 15 years.

The goalless draw, which gives Villa the advantage ahead of the second-leg, followed on from a 2-1 win for the Premier League side in the group stages of the UEFA Cup in 2008, where goals from Martin Laursen and Gareth Barry secured the Villans all three points.

Aston Villa team news

Aston Villa will be without Ezri Konsa for the second leg on Thursday after the Villa man was dismissed in the first leg last week.

Meanwhile, long-term absentees Boubacar Kamara, Emi Buendoa and Tyrone Mings will all miss out, whilst Jacob Ramsey is rated as doubtful after sustaining a foot injury.

Ajax team news

Like Konsa, Tristan Gooijer will miss out on Thursday as he serves a suspension following his dismissal last time out.

His absence could pave the way for Josip Sutalo to return in defence after he returned from injury against Fortuna Sittard at the weekend.

Steven Berghuis is also a doubt, as is former Tottenham Hotspur man Steven Bergwijn, with the winger nursing a hamstring injury.
