Sandwich between his Champions League in the 16th in tie with the Brugge club, Aston Villa visited Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
The Villans were lower for a large part of the first stage of Tuesday in Bruges, but an unhappy objective and a penalty from the end of Marco Asensio means that they will take an advantage of 3-1 with them at Villa Park on Wednesday evening. PSG or Liverpool awaits you in the last eight.
While Europe is the priority of Unai Emery in the section, Villa must also make an effort for a continental position via the Premier League. The defeat at the Crystal Palace last time in this competition leaves them in tenth but only a point at the drift of Bournemouth in seventh. Chelsea is only four points better in fifth.
However, another national defeat outside will see 11th place Brentford fill the gap of visitors on Saturday to a point. The West Midlanders also played a game more than their rivals.
The bees have been undefeated in three since the loss at home against the Spurs, but a large part of their success in recent months has arrived far from the Gtech community stadium. They have not won at home since December 7.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to television confrontation of the first League on Saturday.

Brentford treated with a certain number of absence throughout 2025 and was without eight players for their 1-1 draw with Everton the last time.
However, Thomas Frank could welcome Danish fields Mathias Jensen and Christian Norgaard at the Giron on Saturday. While Jensen aims to shake off a groin injury, Norgaard is likely to have recovered from a concussion.
Rico Henry and Sepp van den Berg could make their respective feedback later this month, but Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago and Josh Dasilva are out of combat in the foreseeable future.
Brentford predicted the programming against Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Flekken; Ajer, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis-Potter; Janelt, Norgaard; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa.
It was a few weeks busy for Villa, and Emery will undoubtedly favor the return leg on Wednesday against club Brugge despite their two advantages.
With this mind, Pau Torres could make his long -awaited return of the injury, while Jacob Ramsey, Marco Asensio, Ian Maathsen and Matty Cash are all in the running to do the departure XI. Boubacar Kamara will be released after recovering from a muscle injury.
Donyell Malen is a doubt due to a disease. Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana are both injured.
Aston Villa predicted the alignment against Brentford (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maathsen; McGinn, Tielemans; Asensio, Rogers, Ramsey; Watkins.
Brentford did not win at home in 2025, but Villa is one of the poorest teams in the Premier League this season. They lost seven of their 13 games from the league outside and were beaten 4-1 by Crystal Palace in Selhurst Park the last time.
Villa often looks stuck in accumulation in the absence of Lynchpin Boubacar Kamara, and there is no guarantee that he will start on Saturday. Frank should tackle the vulnerability of visitors and Press Villa at the top of the field.
Brentford may not have been particularly productive at home lately, but they have been a nuisance against which to play. They should succeed in large areas and thanks to their direct approach, especially in the middle of the park. With the wandering of villa eyes, the hosts could claim a home victory for a long time.
