Champions League news from the 5.45pm GMT kick-offLive scores | Read today’s Football Daily | And email WillA huge evening lies ahead for Aston Villa in Brugge. This is the Champions League last 16 and the favour has been relatively kind to the Premier League side who would expect to defeat their Belgian counterparts over two legs but they have already lost in Brugge this season. That loss was the result of some mild comedy/incompetence, depending on your point of you.As John McGinn indicated in yesterday’s press conference, Villa are out for revenge and will be confident of providing it. Unai Emery’s side have been a mixed bag this season, partially down to the increase schedule caused by being involved in Europe’s top competition.
