From the source

Aston Villa are preparing for a trip to face Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday. The time is nearly here, the Villans are nearly ready for an encounter at Camp Nou.

It is a fixture that travelling fans have been waiting for ever since it was drawn in August. Playing a competitive fixture against the Catalan giant is possible for some, not for others, and will certainly make for an interesting evening.

Unai Emery's side come into the clash off the back of a frustrating 1-1 draw against Fulham on Saturday. Barcelona now lie in wait as we assess how Villa could line up in a return to Champions League action.
