Latest Aston Villa vs Juventus team information
Unai Emery's options have been limited in recent weeks with Jacob Ramsey (hamstring) and Amadou Onana (foot) out of contention, with Onana in particular missing Saturday's game after withdrawing from Belgium's second UEFA Nations League game.
French midfielder Boubacar Kamara and England defender Ezri Konsa are also expected to miss the clash with Juventus, so Ross Barkley and Matty Cash could be named in the starting line-up this midweek.
Up front, Ollie Watkins - who scored Villa's first equaliser against Crystal Palace - will remain first choice, despite fierce competition from Jhon Duran. Duran has scored in both of his Champions League appearances at Villa Park this season.
On Juventus' side, key striker Dusan Vlahovic - who has directly contributed to 5 goals in 6 away games in the Champions League - is still struggling with a thigh injury after being taken off in the draw between Serbia and Denmark. Meanwhile, reserve striker Arkadiusz Milik is only

Latest football commentary on Aston Villa vs Juventus
Aston Villa have beaten even the most optimistic of fans and started their first Champions League campaign with three straight wins, beating Young Boys in Switzerland, then putting in memorable performances against Bayern Munich in Birmingham and beating Bologna three weeks ago.
However, earlier this month the Premier League side lost 1-0 at Club Brugge, amid a significant drop in form both domestically and in Europe. Villa have won just five of their first 12 Premier League games, including a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace last weekend, in which they twice drew, with Ross Barkley scoring a late equaliser at Villa Park.
Just before the international break, a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool marked Villa's fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions, leaving them eighth in the Premier League. However, Unai Emery's side have maintained an impressive record at home in continental competition, with eight wins from their last nine games. The only exception was the defeat to Olympiacos in the first leg of last season's Conference League semi-final.
With extensive experience in Europe, Coach Emery has beaten Juventus twice in the Champions League: with Sevilla in 2015 and Villarreal seven years later. This is also the first time Villa have faced Juve since the encounter in the European Cup in 1983, when the English team lost 2-5 on aggregate and stopped defending the title.
Juventus, on the other hand, reached the final that year but lost to Hamburg, one of seven final defeats in the club’s history. Despite being a big name in Europe, Juve’s record in England has been poor, with just three wins in their last 15 games, and nine defeats.
More recently, Juventus’ only win in seven away Champions League trips was a 3-2 win over RB Leipzig, when they were down to 10 men. After opening with wins over PSV Eindhoven and Leipzig, Juve’s momentum has stalled. However, a last-minute 1-0 loss to Stuttgart remains their only defeat this season.
With seven points from four Champions League games, Juventus head into the second half of the group stage determined to qualify. Last weekend, they played out a lacklustre 0-0 draw with AC Milan. However, Juve remain unbeaten in Serie A after 13 games, with the best defensive record in the league - conceding just seven goals and keeping nine clean sheets. In a tight Scudetto race, where six teams are separated by just four points, Juventus are determined not only to reclaim the domestic crown but also to go further in Europe.
