How Unai Emery’s starting line-up vs PSG could look amid Morgan Rogers latest
Morgan Rogers could be the headline name in the Aston Villa line-up when they face Paris Saint-Germain.
Unai Emery's side open their campaign against the Champions League winners on 12 August in the UEFA Super Cup.
However, the latest update is that Villa have slapped a £130million valuation on Rogers to ward off suitors.
He should be available for the clash at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, as the B6 side look to make a statement against the French side.
If they beat the Parisians, it would set their season on the right track and show rivals that they mean business.
Will Unai Emery throw up any surprises in Aston Villa vs PSG?
Emi Martinez will likely line-up between the sticks, as he is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
The Argentine has been in fine form at the World Cup, keeping two clean sheets and conceding one goal in three matches, per Fotmob.
Matty Cash and Lucas Digne will likely line-up as the full-backs, with the latter enjoying a remarkable perfomance at the tournament.
The French international has made six recoveries and nine clearances in two appearances at the tournament.
England star Ezri Konsa will likely be partnered by Pau Torres in the heart of defence.
In midfield, Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana are expected to feature, with the former starring in Belgium's World Cup campaign.
He has notched two goals, and recorded seven chances created at the competition.
Why Morgan Rogers will be central to Villa plan
Rogers is predicted to have the lead role in Emery's plans, as he notched 14 goals last season in all competitions.
The Spanish manager loves the attacking midfielder and praised his attitude after the win over Manchester United in December 2025.
He said: "He's a fighter, he's a good guy, very good guy, his commitment with Aston Villa is massive, and his attitude every day is really fantastic."
On the flanks, Emi Buendia will be fresh after being snubbed for the World Cup and John McGinn could be tasked with a familiar right-wing role.
Ollie Watkins is expected to feature in the number nine role, after playing just six minutes so far in the Three Lions' tournament, meaning he should be fresh for the contest.
