Unai Emery named an unchanged Aston Villa starting line-up for the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final first leg against LOSC Lille.

Villa’s head coach kept faith with the same XI who played out a 3-3 draw against Brentford in the Premier League last weekend.

Defender Calum Chambers was not included among the substitutes, while goalkeeper Joe Gauci was named in the matchday 20.

Villa face Lille in the club’s first major European last-eight tie for 26 years since reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup in 1998.



Aston Villa: Martínez, Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne, Bailey, Tielemans, Luiz, Rogers, McGinn, Watkins.

Subs: Olsen, Gauci, Moreno, Diaby, Zaniolo, Durán, Kesler Hayden, Iroegbunam, Kellyman.

Lille: Chevalier, Santos, Yoro, Diakité, Ismaily, Bentaleb, André, Haraldsson, Zhegrova, David, Gudmundsson.

Subs: Mannone, Negrel, Alexsandro, Gomes, Cabella, Yazici, Cavaleiro, Morais, Bouaddi, Touré, Ferrah.
