Lille vs. Aston Villa: When and where?
Lille host Aston Villa at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Thursday, April 18. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET local time in France, which is 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, 8 p.m. BST in the UK, and 5 a.m. AEST on Friday, April 19 in Australia.
Goals from Ollie Watkins and John McGinn gave Villa a flying start in the opening encounter. But Bafodé Diakité flicked in a header from Angel Gomes' cross with just six minutes remaining, earning Lille a potentially crucial goal going into this decisive second leg.
Lille have the advantage of having had a weekend off from domestic Ligue 1 action. Gomes, a former England Under-21 and Man United forward, is likely to have fully recovered from the hamstring injury that restricted him to a brief cameo in the first leg.
Villa boss Unai Emery's defensive selection options have been boosted by the return of Clément Lenglet and Matty Cash, meanwhile.
