Barcelona face Aston Villa in their fourth Champions League match, with both sides competing for a place in the next round. The Catalan team will look to recover from their defeat to PSG in the previous round, while Unai Emery’s side arrive having won all three of their matches in the competition so far.
Hansi Flick’s team have conceded seven goals across their last three matches, despite scoring nine. Gordon returns to Barcelona’s starting lineup, and Brian Fariñas retains his place at right-back.
Aston Villa’s starting XI includes João Gomes and Emi Buendía as notable changes. The match is part of a demanding week for Barcelona, who are also due to face Atlético while managing the absence of four injured players.
