We're underway at Molineux... Wolves 0-0 #AVFC

Tyrone Mings is dealing with an injury niggle but was fit enough to make the bench tonight. #AVFC

In the reverse fixture, #AVFC struggled with Wolves' midfield box stopping passes centrally and the back five stepping onto Rogers. Emery attempted to counteract this by moving Rogers up top in a 4-2-2-2. Wouldn't be surprised to see this, with Sancho & Buendia tucking inside

Pau returns to the side tonight, which should help #AVFC's recent issues that Emery acknowledged yesterday. Villa have struggled against both man-to-man systems and low blocks. Pau's passing could be very useful. Emery keeps his faith in Watkins, who has to start firing

#AVFC XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Pau, Digne; Onana, Douglas Luiz; Sancho, Rogers, Buendia; Watkins Three changes from the Leeds draw. Pau replaces Mings, Digne for Maatsen and Sancho for Bailey.

#AVFC believe they have learned from the time they ran out of steam against Olympiacos with Emeryโs methodical approach conducive to knockout football, where the margins can be so fine. Story and analysis on Europa League draw @theathleticfc.bsky.socialโฆ

Remember going to Lille for that second leg. Martinez's two yellow cards, the scenes at the end of the penalty shootout. Was a remarkable, hostile atmosphere. Police had to stop fans from getting onto the pitch and to Martinez. #AVFC among the favourites but have a tough path
