HT: #AVFC 3-0 Bologna (6-1 on aggregate) Villa at their most familiar best. Hitting an over-eager, vulnerable team through fast transitions and incisive passes, encouraged by open space. Brilliant Watkins got his 100 - time for changes for those who could face suspension...

Emery said this wouldn't be a walk in the park but it is turning out to be one. Rogers shoots hard and low and past Ravaglia in goal. His first since early February - the goal comes from Martinez kicking long to the 2v2 up front and #AVFC playing off it. 3-0

Jacob Tanswell

A comfortable evening for Villa; Straight after Rogers' penalty is saved, Digne's throw is straight for Buendia, who controls and scores at the near post. I mean Bologna have defended with all the robustness of a poppadom, but it's a good finish. #AVFC

GOALL BUENDIA 2-0 #AVFC

Jacob Tanswell

Penalty, Villa. VAR deems the ball to have hit the hand of Martin Vitik after Morgan Rogers' header. #AVFC

Bologna are without their best CB and that, along with their FBs switching sides, has addde to their confusion. The FBs look uncomfortable, especially Mario, when McGinn is trying to roll him. Bologna, still man for man, but playing risky - #AVFC should be able to cut through

Bologna's full-backs are playing on their weaker sides and have swapped. Miranda, left footed, is on the right. Not sure why but perhaps because McGinn and Buendia are more inclined to drift inside, they would be tackling on their stronger foot. Interesting (for me, anyway).…

Another European night at Villa Park. “Dream On” by Aerosmith plays as the Tifo unfurls. #AVFC have a chance to progress into the final four - and, perhaps, it won’t start to feel like a dream for much longer… First, though, Bologna.
