Aston Villa preview: Looking for a huge upset
Even before their first duel with PSG, Aston Villa were huge underdogs in this tie. So, if they can turn things around after losing the first game by two goals, that would certainly be a big surprise. That being said, Aston Villa have been amazing lately, winning nine of their last 10 games in all competitions, so they definitely have the quality to put up a fight against PSG on Tuesday night in Birmingham.
Another positive for Aston Villa is the fact that Leon Bailey is their only injured player at the moment.

Player to watch: Morgan Rogers
With four goals and three assists in the Champions League this season, the young midfielder has been a true revelation for Aston Villa.
Furthermore, it was Rogers who gave Aston Villa the lead in Paris in the first leg, so PSG will have to keep a close eye on him in the second leg or it may cost him again.
