The Europa Conference League round of 16 draw will take place this week as Aston Villa learn their fate.
Unai Emery's side are the only Premier League representative in the competition and brilliantly topped Group E earlier this season.

Villa's superb form has suffered a few bumps at the start of 2024 as they crashed out of the FA Cup to Chelsea.
The Conference League remains their last opportunity to win silverware this term, but the club are still clinging onto the final Champions League spot in the Premier League.
Villa will still be the team to avoid in the last-16, with Jordan Henderson hoping to lead Ajax into the next round as well.
