With Juventus suffering badly from injuries, consider using Timothy Weah as a center forward alongside Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao for this difficult trip to Aston Villa.

It starts at 8pm GMT at Villa Park.

You can follow all the build-up and action from this game and Bologna-Lille in the live blog.

The Bianconeri’s injury crisis is only getting worse with Weston McKennie becoming the latest addition to the absentee list.

He joins Dusan Vlahovic, Arkadiusz Milik, Nico Gonzalez, Vasilije Adzic, Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal and former Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz on the treatment table.

This means that coach Thiago Motta has no strikers available at all and therefore has to use Weah as a false 9, supported by Teun Koopmeiners, Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz.

Aston Villa had a sensational start to the season, winning their first three Champions League games, including 1-0 against Bayern Munich and 2-0 against Bologna.

However, they lost 1-0 to Club Brugge and also weakened domestically with just two points from their last six competitive games.

Amadou Onana and Jacob Ramsey are out of action, and Boubacar Kamara and Ezri Konsa are also not fully fit.

Ollie Watkins leads the attack with support from Leon Bailey, Morgan Rogers and John McGinn, while super substitute Jhon Duran is on the bench.
