Unai Emery’s Aston Villa arrive on the back of consecutive wins in their opening two Champions League matches and recorded a 6-0 victory against Fenerbahce in their most recent outing. The Villa camp are described as being on a positive run and will be eager to extend their winning start in the competition.

Viking FK, managed by Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen, are still searching for a first win in this Champions League season after a 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich. That result saw Viking push Bayern to the limit and come very close to a victory, and the side will need sharp efforts in defence in Birmingham.
