The emotions of the Champions League continue today, with Aston Villa-Juventus among the matches scheduled for the 5th day of the League Phase. The hosts have started their European campaign in the best possible way and want to continue dreaming of direct qualification to the round of 16, facing a Juventus team in plaster and also hungry for points. Appointment at 9.00 pm Villa Park of Birmingham, Mr. Jesus Gil Manzano directs the challenge.
HOW THE ASTON VILLA ARRIVES – Unai Emery shouldn’t change much from the 4-2-3-1 seen in the last weekend of the Premier League. Martinez between the posts, with a defense in front with Konsa and Torres as central defenders while on the flanks there is room for Cash and former Roma player Digne. The key area of the pitch will be manned by Barkley and Tielemans, supporting an attacking quartet with Bailey, Rogers and McGinn behind the lone striker Watkins.
HOW JUVENTUS ARRIVES – The total emergency continues at Juventus, with Thiago Motta forced to rely on a very limited number of outfield players. Indeed, compared to the match against Milan, not only has no one recovered but McKennie will also be unavailable. Juve therefore on the pitch with the 4-2-3-1, with Weah in the advanced role with Conceiçao, Koopmeiners and Yildiz behind him. In the middle of the field Locatelli and Thuram, while in front of Di Gregorio there will be a defense with Savona and Cambiaso on either side of Kalulu and Gatti.
