Club Brugge and Aston Villa announce their starting lineups for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 fixture on Tuesday night.

Club Brugge and Aston Villa have announced their teams for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 fixture.

Villa make the trip to Belgium having already suffered a 1-0 defeat to Tuesday's opponents in the League Phase.

Unai Emery has chosen to make a total of four changes from the team that earned a 2-0 victory over Cardiff City in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday night.

With Andres Garcia ineligible for this competition, Ezri Konsa has moved to right-back, with Axel Disasi being restored to the starting lineup.

Tyrone Mings and Lucas Digne have also been included in the backline, taking the spots of Lamare Bogarde and Ian Maatsen.

Further forward, Marco Asensio has lost his place to Morgan Rogers, but Marcus Rashford has retained his spot on the left flank with Ollie Watkins leading the attack.
