Leipzig are in need of a win tonight after losing their five matches against Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool, Celtic and Inter. Their head coach Marco Rose said that only a win would keep their hopes of qualifying for the knockouts alive.

Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Carlos, Pau, Digne, Kamara, Tielemans, McGinn, Rogers, Watkins.
Subs: Olsen, Gauci, Nedeljkovic, Bogarde, Maatsen, Mings, Swinkels, Onana, Barkley, Buendia, Philogene, Duran.
RB Leipzig XI: Gulasci, Geertruida, Orban, Seiwald, Henrichs, Baumgartner, Veermeren, Haidara, Nusa, Sesko, Openda.
Subs: Vandevoordt, Klostermann, Silva, Kampl, Sakar, Jatta, Gebel.
