Club Brugge
The hosts' chief concern regards Gustaf Nilsson, who recently returned from a calf injury - scoring five minutes his introduction as a substitute - but subsequently sat out the weekend win in Leuven.
Raphael Onyedika was sent off at San Siro, so he must serve a one-match ban, possibly offering Hugo Vetlesen a rare chance to start.
Either Romeo Vermant or Ferran Jutgla is expected to feature up front, while captain Hans Vanaken starts in midfield and veteran goalkeeper Simon Mignolet provides Club Brugge's last line of defence.
Club Brugge possible starting lineup:
Mignolet; Seys, Ordonez, Mechele, De Cuyper; Jashari, Vetlesen; Skov Olsen, Vanaken, Tzolis; Vermant
Aston Villa
Once again, Unai Emery faces a welcome dilemma relating to his starting striker, as Ollie Watkins is Aston Villa's leading Premier League scorer on five goals, one more than Jhon Duran, whose four have all come as a substitute.
However, Colombia international Duran scored the winner against Bayern, started versus Bologna, and has racked up eight goals across all competitions.
After welcoming Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara back from long-term knee injuries, Villa's only absentee is back-up midfielder Ross Barkley, who missed the trip to Spurs and may be ruled out until after the international break.
With Barkley unavailable and Kamara still working his way back to peak fitness, ex-Anderlecht duo Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana should run the visitors' engine room in Bruges.
Aston Villa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Maatsen; Onana, Tielemans; McGinn, Rogers, Ramsey; Duran
Prediction: Club Brugge 1-2 Aston Villa
