Aston Villa are back at Villa Park on Thursday to finish the job in the deciding leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Bologna.
Unai Emery’s side won the first leg 3-1 in Italy last week to seize control of the tie and take a step toward the semi-finals of Europe’s secondary club competition.
Emery, a four-time winner of the Europa League, will know his side cannot afford to take anything for granted despite their advantage.
Bologna scored four goals in the second leg away at Roma to make it through the last 16 and bounced back from last Thursday’s defeat by beating Lecce on the weekend.
The visitors have to go for it at Villa Park, which should make for an end-to-end encounter.
