Competing in Europe’s top competition for the first time since 1983, Villa made the perfect start with a 3-0 win in Switzerland over Young Boys. Now in their first home game, they take on the illustrious opponents they defeated back in 1982 to win the European Cup. It will be a serious challenge for the Villains but one that manager Unai Emery may well relish. A past master in Europe, he has lost just three of his 20 group games in the Champions League.

While Emery is used to managing at this level, it is a new experience for Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany. The former Burnley manager was a surprise appointment but has hit the ground running. Die Roten are top of the table in Germany and smashed nine goals past Dinamo Zagreb in their opening Champions League fixture. Harry Kane scored four in that game and will be looking to add to his tally of eight goals against Villa
