Aston Villa will be looking to finish the job off against Lille on Thursday as Unai Emery's side looks to wrap up its spot in the Europa League's quarter-finals.
Villa carry a 1-0 lead into the second leg as they return home after victory in France last week, and will be the favorite to go through and move a step closer to this year's final in Istanbul.
There is still a bit of work to do though, and with just one goal in the tie at the halfway stage, Lille will be aiming to stage a comeback and upset the Villa Park crowd.
