Aston Villa will take on Lille in the first leg of the Europa Conference League quarter-final at the Villa Park on Thursday.
Ollie Watkins equalized with an 80th-minute goal for Aston Villa to hold Brentford 3-3 in their last outing in the Premier League. They bounced back from a heavy defeat against Manchester City and will be confident heading into this game.
It won't be easy for the English side though, as they are up against a Ligue 1 team who are unbeaten in their last seven games.
