Team News: Unai Emery names Aston Villa XI for Lille game in Europa Conference League

Unai Emery has selected his Aston Villa XI for the first leg of the Europa Conference League quarter-final against Lille.

With a Premier League showdown versus Arsenal to come on Sunday, Emery has been left to try to manage that fixture alongside the double-header in Europe.

However, the Spaniard has made the decision to select an unchanged starting lineup from the 3-3 draw with Brentford on Saturday.

That means Lucas Digne retains his place at left-back and Morgan Rogers gets the nod further down that side of the pitch.

Moussa Diaby is among those who have to make do with a place among the replacements as Villa attempt to build an advantage against the French outfit.

Meanwhile, Paulo Fonseca has made two changes to the Lille XI from the 3-1 victory over Marseille in Ligue 1.

Bafode Diakite has been brought into the middle of the backline, taking the place of Alexsandro Ribeiro.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Gudmundsson is included on the left flank as an alternative to Remy Cabella, who also drops to the substitutes' bench.
