Fenerbahce host Aston Villa in a crucial Europa League clash, with former Villa striker Jhon Duran and ex-loanee Marco Asensio lining up for the Turkish side. Villa, aiming for a group stage victory, could move outright top of the standings with a win.
Unai Emery's side makes five changes, resting captain John McGinn (knee) and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez (calf). Jadon Sancho starts, while Ollie Watkins leads the attack. A win virtually secures Villa a last-16 spot in their penultimate group game.
Fenerbahce, currently in a play-off spot, seek an automatic knockout berth. The match pits two teams with contrasting ambitions in the competition. Villa's recent league defeat to Everton adds pressure, but a strong European showing remains a key season objective.
