Aston Villa0 - 1PSG

Having tinkered with his starting lineup for Saturday's Premier League fixture at Southampton, Unai Emery was always likely to make several changes for this contest.

The Spaniard also had the option of using Marcus Rashford and Ollie Watkins in the same team as Villa bid to overturn a 3-1 deficit.

However, he has instead opted to use Rashford down the middle and leave Watkins on the substitutes' bench, as he did for the first leg at Parc des Princes.

Emery has made just the one change from that fixture, choosing to introduce Amadou Onana into the midfield at the expense of Jacob Ramsey.

As a result, Villa will either use a diamond midfield with Morgan Rogers operating behind Rashford, or a central midfield three with John McGinn and Rogers in wide areas.

Any PSG changes?

Meanwhile, Luis Enrique has made two alterations to the PSG starting lineup from the first fixture.

Despite his sensational equaliser in that game, Desire Doue has dropped down to the substitutes' bench with Bradley Barcola taking his place.

Marquinhos is also able to return to the team after serving a one-match ban, Lucas Beraldo missing out to accommodate his start.

Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; McGinn, Tielemans, Kamara, Onana, Rogers; Rashford

Subs: Olsen, Procter, Disasi, Mings, Maatsen, Bogarde, Barkley, Bailey, Asensio, Ramsey, Watkins

Paris Saint-Germain XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia

Subs: Tenas, Safonov, Beraldo, Doue, Hernandez, Kimpembe, Lee, Mayulu, Mbaye, Ramos, Zaire-Emery
