Aston Villa will be looking to maintain their perfect Champions League start when they face Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Tuesday. Villa are one of just five sides to have collected nine points from their opening three games.
However, they head into this clash as underdogs. Barcelona are one of the competition’s favourites and have lost just twice in 38 home matches against English opposition.
Nicolas Jackson could be key to Villa securing a positive result at Barcelona. Jackson has scored three goals in the Champions League this season. The Senegal international has the pace, physicality and movement to cause problems for Barcelona’s defence.
