Barcelona host Aston Villa at the Spotify Camp Nou today, Tuesday November 3, with kickoff at 8pm GMT (9pm WAT), in Matchday 4 of the Champions League league phase. Villa have a perfect record after three games, beating Club Brugge, Fenerbahçe (6-0) and Viking (3-1), and sit second behind only PSG. Barcelona are three points behind them on six, after beating Feyenoord 5-1 and Galatasaray 4-1 before a 4-2 defeat at PSG. Hansi Flick has a defensive problem. João Cancelo, Gerard Martín, Pau Cubarsí and Alejandro Balde are the only senior defenders available, and Roony Bardghji is out long-term with an ACL injury. Raphinha is expected to lead the attack alongside Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon. Unai Emery is only missing Amadou Onana (knee), Matteo Ruggeri (thigh) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (thigh), and Ollie Watkins' absence leaves Villa with Jackson as their predicted number nine. Villa last played at Camp Nou in January 1983, losing 1-0 to Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Super Cup. One prediction model gives Barcelona a 49% chance of winning.
