Aston Villa XI vs Feyenoord – Predicted lineup and team news

Aston Villa travel to Rotterdam on Thursday aiming to make it two wins from two in their Europa League campaign.

After a difficult start to the season, back-to-back victories over Bologna and Fulham have restored confidence at the club. Therefore, a positive result at the intimidating De Kuip would be another major step forward for Unai Emery’s side.

The club’s European hopes rest on the shoulders of the competition’s most successful ever manager, Unai Emery. The Spaniard has won the Europa League a record five times and his tactical expertise will be crucial against a Feyenoord side desperate for a result. His experience provides Villa with a significant advantage in these tough European away nights.

Aston Villa team news

Unai Emery is facing a number of selection problems for Aston Villa’s Europa League trip to Feyenoord. Defender Tyrone Mings has been ruled out after he was injured against Fulham on Sunday. Forward Jadon Sancho will also miss the match due to illness. The team is also without the injured trio of Youri Tielemans, Amadou Onana, and Andrés García.

Furthermore, Ross Barkley is ineligible to play in this competition, leaving the squad significantly depleted. Ollie Watkins and John McGinn, who are both climbing the club’s all-time European appearance and goalscoring charts, are expected to feature prominently.
