From the source

Aston Villa travel to Barcelona on Tuesday in the fourth round of the Champions League league phase. Villa are second in the league-phase table with nine points from three wins, having scored 12 goals against Club Brugge, Fenerbahçe and Viking.

They arrive winless in two, after a 3-0 EFL Cup defeat at Bournemouth and a 1-1 Premier League draw with Fulham on Saturday. Barcelona are eighth on six points after losing 4-2 at Paris Saint-Germain on matchday three, and followed a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid in La Liga with a 6-1 win over Alavés.

The clubs last met in the 1983 UEFA Super Cup, which Villa won 3-1 on aggregate. Amadou Onana (knee), Matteo Ruggeri (thigh) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (thigh) remain out, with no new injury concerns after the Fulham draw.
