How to watch today’s Aston Villa vs Young Boys clash: TV Channel and kick-off time
Aston Villa’s Europa League clash with Young Boys on Thursday will be available to watch for fans who aren’t attending the match.
Villa’s 2-1 win over Leeds on Sunday showed great determination and spirit despite not being at their best, but there is no time to rest ahead of another European night at Villa Park.
With three wins from four league phase games, Unai Emery’s side are easing through the competition with no real worry.
Aston Villa are the favourites to win the Europa League, and up next is a test against Swiss side Young Boys on 27 November.
Villa News has highlighted everything you need to know ahead of the game.

Young Boys come into the match having won two and lost two of their Europa League games.

The game will be televised on TNT Sports 2, with coverage beginning at 5:30 pm, and the match starting at 5:45 pm.

Playing on Thursdays and Sundays most weeks is incredibly demanding for the players, and there is no manager better suited to the Europa League than Emery.
The Spaniard has won the Europa League a staggering four times, and has registered the most wins of any manager in the competition (58).
Emery is an expert in the Europa League, and he knows better than anyone that rotating the squad is imperative.

Which Villa players could be given a chance against Young Boys?
Ollie Watkins has been poor this season, but the match against Young Boys could see him start with the hopes of boosting his confidence in front of goal.
Evann Guessand has featured regularly in Europe, while Jadon Sancho’s inclusion could allow for Emi Buendia to have a rest.
Ian Maatsen, Donyell Malen and Ross Barkley could both come in after impressing off the bench in recent weeks, and Sunday’s derby versus Wolves means Emery will be thinking three steps ahead.
Young Boys possess a potent threat in attack, with Christian Fassnacht and Chris Bedia scoring 24 goals combined this season.
Villa’s defence will have to be wary of their counter-attacking threat, but regardless of who comes in, most fans will be expecting a comfortable win under the lights.
