A huge evening lies ahead for Aston Villa in Brugge. This is the Champions League last 16 and the favour has been relatively kind to the Premier League side who would expect to defeat their Belgian counterparts over two legs but they have already lost in Brugge this season. That loss was the result of some mild comedy/incompetence, depending on your point of you.

As John McGinn indicated in yesterday’s press conference, Villa are out for revenge and will be confident of providing it. Unai Emery’s side have been a mixed bag this season, partially down to the increase schedule caused by being involved in Europe’s top competition. They bolstered their options in January and will be hoping that is enough to take them far in the Champions League.

As for Club Brugge, they are overachieving with a fine team of youngsters. They caused problems for Manchester City in the final group game and then nigh-on humiliated Atalanta in the playoff. There is plenty of quality in their ranks and they will be eager to show it on the biggest stage once more.

Important Events
I was in Etihad when City overcame Club Brugge. Tzolis was in great shape for the Belgians that night, causing problems with the wings. I look forward to seeing him do it again tonight.
“Are you thinking about this reboot? In Bruge Is it the top of the original black comedy drama? ” Ask Peter of.
Wait to see how Ben Fisher writes it.
Marcus Rashford nods to the left of the attack. Unai Emery must be hoping to be able to use the European experience to help Aston Villa.
His Manchester United debut was in Europe and he was fine.

Ben Fisher and John McGinn will combine to provide preview material.
preamble
A big night comes first for Aston Villa in Bruges. This is the past 16-year-old Champions League, and although relatively kind to the Premier League side, hoping to beat their Belgian counterparts with two legs, they've already lost at Bruges this season. That loss was a result of mild comedy/incompetent, depending on your points.
As John McGinn pointed out at a press conference yesterday, the villa is out for revenge and is confident in offering it. Unai Emery's side was partly a mixed bag this season, until the increased schedule caused by involvement in Europe's top competition. They will bolster their options in January and hope that it is enough to take them far in the Champions League.
When it comes to Club Bruges, they have achieved an overachievement with a great team of young people. They caused problems for Manchester City in the final group game, then humiliated Atalanta in the playoffs. Their ranks have enough quality and they want to show it on the biggest stage again.
Kick-off: 5.45pm GMT
