Unai Emery has named his Aston Villa starting XI to take on Bologna in the Europa League this evening.

He has made four changes from the team which drew 1-1 with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light last weekend.

Marco Bizot starts in goal behind a defence of Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres and Ian Maatsen.

Boubacar Kamara and John McGinn play in the double pivot, while Evann Guessand, Morgan Rogers and Emi Buendia support striker Donyell Malen.

After failing to win any of their opening six matches in all competitions this season, Villa are targeting their first victory of the campaign tonight.

They defeated their Italian opponents 2–0 in the Champions League 11 months ago thanks to goals from John McGinn and Jhon Duran.
