Aston Villa have enjoyed a perfect start in the Champions League so far, without conceding a single goal. Their next test comes against Belgian side Club Brugge.

If Villa win tonight, they will become just the fourth team in history to win their first four Champions League games.

Villa boss, Unai Emery, said: “It is a very good opponent… beating Brugge here [will be difficult],” but urges his side to “keep competing and being consistent.”

Jhon Duran is Villa’s top goalscorer this season with eight goals, two of those coming in the Champions League. However, Ollie Watkins starts tonight.

Club’s Raphael Onyedika is seeing out a one game suspension after being sent off against AC Milan so will not feature.

Club Brugge manager, Nicky Hayen, urged his side to “give everything” against Villa. Club currently sit 26th in the league standings and have lost their last three Champions League home games.
