On track for a knockout playoff bye, Aston Villa hope to secure their place in the Europa League final 16 as they finish up league phase play against RB Salzburg on Thursday.
The Premier League side have 18 points through seven matches, putting them second in the table, only back of leaders Lyon on goal differential.
A top eight spot in the standings would see them through to the Round of 16 automatically. While they have not mathematically sealed their place as such just yet, they are on the doorstep of a berth.
Salzburg, meanwhile, are on the brink of European elimination. They sit 28th in the table on six points, two adrift of the top 24 spots which afford passage to the knockout stage.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
