Aston Villa showed two changes for our UEFA Champions League encounter against Barcelona.
João Gomes and Emi Buendía returned to Unai Emery’s starting XI following Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Fulham in the Premier League.
Leon Goretzka and Alysson were both named among the substitutes for the Matchday 4 encounter at the Camp Nou.
Villa went into the clash having collected a maximum nine points from our opening three matches in the league phase of Europe’s elite club competition.
It is the first meeting between the two clubs since Villa’s Super Cup success over two legs in January 1983.
