Aston Villa is set to face Bologna in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, continuing their strong run in European competitions. This marks Villa's third consecutive quarter-final appearance, following their success against Lille in the Conference League and a near miss against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last year. Under the guidance of Unai Emery, who has an impressive record of four Europa League titles, Villa is eager to secure their first major trophy in 30 years. The team currently sits fourth in the Premier League, despite some inconsistency in their league performance. Notably, Villa has already triumphed over Bologna this season, and they welcome back Youri Tielemans after a two-month absence due to an ankle injury. Emery acknowledges Bologna's recent successes, including their Coppa Italia victory last year, and emphasizes the challenge ahead. The match is scheduled to kick off at 8 PM BST.
