Diego Carlos pings the ball long down the left channel, with Watkins racing off in behind. He got to it first, though without any real support, and in the end he loses possession.

The stalemate is continuing, with both sides taking turns at controlling possession around halfway. This game really needs a goal to break it open.

Juventus get the ball rolling in all navy, Villa in their usual home strip. The atmosphere is rocking, so this promises to be a cracker.

Conceicao collects on the right sideline, and drives infield immediately. He somehow finds a gap, carrying to the byline where he forces a corner.

Kamara drives his way through midfield, and draws a relatively soft foul out of Locatelli. He protests, but that falls on deaf ears. Deep free kick coming up.

Villa step up nicely on the halfway line, and they catch Weah offside to cut out what could have been a dangerous attack.

Duran receives between the lines, taking it forwards well before then sending it backwards - and it leads to Villa losing it. The crowd is beginning to groan.

THE GAME HAS FINALLY COME TO LIFE! A good corner is nodded away, though only as far as Cash who hit a vicious volley! Gatti blocked it well, and it allowed Juventus to counter. Things became disjointed on the edge of the area, so Weah just hit one, sending it a whisker over the top right corner! Martinez was scrambling there!

Savona finally gets pressed so he looks in behind, spinning a decent ball into the channel for the run of Weah. Martinez was quickly out though, sweeping well outside his area to clear.

Diego Carlos steals possession and drives all the way downfield before losing it as he dwelled for too long! Juventus were happy to clear though, where Koopmeiners concedes a foul just over halfway. The box is loaded!

Bailey goes driving down the right, but runs away from support, and ends up having it taken off his toe. It deflects out off of him, giving the visitors the throw.

TEAM NEWS: Juventus - Thiago Motta has made just one change to his side which ground to a draw with AC Milan at the weekend. Tim Weah is back in to lead the line in place of Weston McKennie, which will allow Teun Koopmeiners to drop out of the false 9 role he filled last time out. Bizarrely, they have just a six-man bench.

Juventus have had an interesting season thus far. They have been remarkably tight at the back, but have really struggled going forwards, meaning their season has been plagued by inconsistency. They have lost just once, which was in the UCL, but they have drawn over half their matches. A draw wouldn't be the worst result for them tonight, though if they want to push for a spot in the top eight, then a win may well be required given what they have left in the competition. If they are to win, they need to find goals, so Tim Weah particularly needs to put in a big shift.

There is a change on either side, as both sides go hunting for a late winner... at the moment though, this feels destined for a stalemate.

It has been a real chess match early on, with Juventus largely controlling possession inside their own half. They are patiently waiting for Villa to press, but it isn't coming.

Cambiaso goes on a driving run in midfield before getting basically body-slammed, but he managed to get it out to the right where Conceicao delivered a cross. it was headed clear but the visitors still have it inside the final third.

CLOSE! Villa respond by coming down the right, with Watkins forcing a corner out of Kalulu. Bailey sends an in-swinger into the near post, where Torres nipped in nicely! He glanced it on, but couldn't keep it down, as it was always rising over the bar.

SHOT! Tielemans' ball in is not particularly good, though it fell for Watkins who looked to turn and shoot. It was well blocked, and Juventus were able to counter! Thuram took a heavy touch which Tielemans was then able to steal, but he gave it away again as Thuram drove forwards to the right. Conceicao carried to the edge of the area, cutting inside before driving it back towards the bottom right corner! Martinez gets down well though, and manages to hold it.

Two changes for Villa, as they hunt a winner. It is a straight swap up front, with Jhon Duran injected in place of Ollie Watkins. Boubacar Kamara is also withdrawn for Ross Barkley.

The visitors nearly overplay their hand in trying to play out, but Tielemans fouls on the edge of the Juve box. Whilst he moaned, the visiting side quickly sprung forwards, eventually playing out left to Yildiz. He drove in off the touchline, taking it all the way to the edge of the D before trying to drag it into the bottom left corner. Decent effort, but it was always heading wide.

Koopmeiners makes a darting run through the middle of the park, racing onto a long ball that had Martinez scrambling. His clearance was awkward, though it matters little as the flag comes up for offside.

Juve have controlled the ball nicely early on, though equally Villa have been happy to sit off as the visitors cycle it with their defence.

Tielemans drives a ball into the feet of Diego Carlos who was able to receive inside the box, before it was quickly pinched away from him. Conceicao carries forward over the half to relieve the pressure.

TEAM NEWS: Aston Villa - Unai Emery has made three changes to the side which had a disappointing draw against Crystal Palace at the weekend. Both fullbacks have been changed, as the more experienced duo of Matty Cash and Lucas Digne are favoured for this big assignment. Conversely, it is the young and talented Boubacar Kamara who beats out Ross Barkley in midfield. The rest of the side is unchanged.

A cheap midfield foul on Watkins has allowed Villa to get some bodies forward. Could we finally get some goalmouth action?

Juventus are patiently holding the ball inside their half once again. This is certainly an intriguing tactical battle.

Locatelli pinches it on halfway, and Juventus quickly work it down the right. Conceicao ghosts into the area, but delivers a poor cross. Torres gave possession away though, enabling the visitors to deliver once more. Koopmeiners made a nice run, but the cross from a central area lacked the bend required as Martinez gathered.

After breaching the lines down the right McGinn is forced backwards, so for the first real time in this game the home side are enjoying a spell on the ball.

Savona has gone down needing some attention. Juventus' injury issues look to have got worse!

Kalulu comes crashing in low at the front post, and he forces a corner now out of Villa.

SHOT! Villa probe from halfway, ticking it around one touch from McGinn to Rogers. He rolled it left to Tielemans, who crashed onto it, whipping to the bottom left corner. Easily covered by Di Gregorio.

Late drama, but ultimately it ends in a stalemate at Villa Park. Morgan Rogers thought he had won it late on, but it was deemed that there was an arm which impeded Di Gregorio, so a foul was ruled, and Juventus get out of it with a point. Ultimately neither side really did enough to secure the win, so despite the late drama, that feels like the fair outcome.

McGinn does well to nip in through midfield, charging down the left channel before eventually chopping back to look for support. It is not forthcoming though, so he is forced to concede.

Tielemans tries not once but twice to thread the ball through midfield, but both times Juventus react well to cut it out.

Aston Villa have been on the slide as of late, having not won in any competition since they defeated Bologna on matchday two. That was over a month ago, with two draw and four defeats following since. Tonight's game will be another real test, but with games now coming thick and fast for the English sides, it is a test you feel they have to pass if they are to make the most of this season. Ollie Watkins has been hit and miss, but he found the back of the net against Palace, which he will be hoping marks the start of a turnaround. Against this youthful Juventus side, his timing will be key to ensure he can make the most of his skillset. In midfield, there will be a real scrap, and you feel like it will be key for the home side that they can control the ball and the tempo.

A dangerous through ball for Watkins is just cleared in the nick of time by a sliding Gatti, but Aston Villa were able to build forwards into the Juventus defensive end... they instead choose to go backwards though.

Juventus make their second alteration, as Samuel Mbangula takes the place of Kenan Yildiz on the left flank.

Villa work it short, where McGinn eventually delivered, though it was a touch heavy. The home side recycle not once but twice, with Juventus unable to clear their lines. McGinn slid it down the line to Digne, who worked to the byline before standing it up. Di Gregorio comes out and does well to control it out the sky.

The accuracy is lacking for the home side, as another couple of final balls are well off target giving Di Gregorio few issues.

After threatening to open up the game has lulled again,w ith Volla patiently controlling possession on halfway.

Rogers is found between the line and quickly springs forwards, but again Juventus rush to get bodies back to slow things down. Pau Torres eventually lumps a ball in, but Di Gregorio deals with it easily enough.

Juventus evade the press through Thuram, and Juventus for the first time in this game come forwards at pace. Savona was played in down the right, and he smashed in a cross first time. Too close to Martinez though, who easily gathers.

GOOD SAVE! Tielemans dinks it in down the left of the box, where Diego Carlos was able to nod it down, with it finding Kamara on the edge of the area. He sorted his feet out well, drawing the defence before slipping Watkins in down the left of the box! He fired near post, but it was well read by Di Gregorio who got down well to beat it away for a corner.

DRAMA! ROGERS THOUGHT HE HAD HAD WON IT! Tielemans lumped it in towards the back post, where Di Gregorio looked to come to claim - but he spilt! It dropped for Rogers, who controlled and smashed it home, but it the goal has been ruled out for a small arm on Di Gregorio... the VAR checks and agrees with the referee's decision! Incredibly soft and Villa are furious!

Conceicao patiently waits on the ball down the right flank, edging patiently before quickly coming inside to whip in a cross. Straight into the gloves of Martinez...

A lumped ball forward is not particularly well dealt with by Villa, as Rogers gave it away with a flick whilst coming deep, but Juventus were negative with possession, going backwards before Conceicao fouled Digne.

Savona is indeed unable to continue, so Danilo comes on in his place at right back.

Conceicao dances out of defence, working a couple of give and goes before firing from well outside the box. High and wide to the left of the goal.

Villa take a few risks but they manage to beat the press, with Kamara eventually freeing it for Rogers. His cross was poor though, enabling Juve to smash it away.

Thuram plays it left where Yildiz went driving over halfway at pace. He switched it out to the right, where Weah dropped in and sprayed to the flank. Conceicao then delivered, with it well glanced away at the back post. Cambiaso collected outside the area, and whipped goalwards, but it was high and wide to the right.

Koopmeiners swings it into the back post where Rogers scrambles to see it behind for another corner.

Juventus will be the happier of the two sides. They came with a plan to frustrate, and frustrate they did. They might have liked to have provided a slightly greater threat in the final third, but considering all their injuries, a clean sheet was definitely the top priority for them. Francisco Conceicao was easily the best player on the field, causing plenty of problems on the right-hand side. His dribbling was superb, though like everyone else his end product was a little lacking. Though this is a good point, it appears their chances of making the top eight are now slim.

Diego Carlos pings it in behind for Bailey, who forces a throw high down the right for his side. Again the home side go backwards, but in the end it works out as McGinn earns a foul in a decent position, around 30 yards out from goal on the right.

Villa finally up the pace, flicking a couple of one touch passes up the centre to get it to Watkins in between the lines. He looked to drive into the box, but was chopped down by Kalulu on the edge! He is booked, and now Digne has a great chance to open the scoring.

Diego Carlos loops a ball into the channel for Watkins, who took it well down the right before giving it away. Yildiz did well initially, before working with Thuram who did very well to evade the press, despite the best efforts of Kamara.

Digne shoots but it is straight into the wall and away from danger...

Conceicao slides a ball down the right channel for the run of Weah, but Digne slides in to get there first. Weah catches him on the toe, and earns a booking.

SHOT! Juventus work it away down the right, before coming back into midfield where Thuram edged forwards before letting fly. He skews it though, with it flying well out towards the corner flag.

Yildiz tries his hand from the other side, but Diego Carlos is able to head it away. McGinn looked to counter, but is forced to slow the ball as Juventus collapsed in quickly.

Pau Torres goes diving in on halfway in search of a loose ball, but Weah knocked it past him, meaning the Spaniard took all of the man! He complains, but that is a clear yellow card.

Kalulu gives it away with a hurried clearance, though Kamara just dwells on it to settle things down. 

MARTINEZ BAILS VILLA OUT BIG TIME! Koopmeiners crossed to the back post, where it went all the way through to the back post, bouncing up for Conceicao to nod home! He directed it into the bottom right corner, but Martinez somehow got down and dug it out off the line!

Juventus beat the press and progress in down the left through Yildiz, who looked to dance through a couple. He tripped under his own feet down the left though, with it rolling out for a goal kick.

Fagioli is caught looking the wrong way, with Tielemans able to fly forwards over halfway. Villa looked to work through Rogers, but twice he gave it away...

Villa work it away down the right, with Bailey edging inside before working back across the top of the box for Tielemans. He angles his body well, drawing a foul out of Thuram! Huge free kick opportunity just outside the area for Villa.

Yildiz goes on a jinking run down his left this time, being taken down just inside his own half. Villa are furious with the decision, and in the aftermath the referee furiously brandishes another yellow card! Bailey on the receiving end this time.

We're back underway at Villa Park, where the home side come straight down the left. Digne looked to cross, but it was blocked, though it does give Villa an early corner.

SHOT! In contrast to the slow and steady build-up Villa come flying forwards, working from the left out to Bailey on the right. He drove to the edge of the area, being allowed to cut inside before shooting towards the far post. Decent effort, but John McGinn of all people gets in the way.

Juventus are patiently controlling possession in search of an opening, but it doesn't look to be forthcoming.

Hello everybody, and welcome to Tribe for this UEFA Champions League clash. We are in Birmingham this evening, where Aston Villa will be looking to continue their great run in the Champions League against Juventus. I am Nicholas Friedlander, and I will have the action for you.

SOMEHOW JUVENTUS KEEP IT OUT! Villa beat the press, before working it out to Bailey who carried with purpose down the right. He took it to the byline where he then drove it back to the penalty spot where McGinn was arriving! Di Gregorio was beaten, but Locatelli got a toe in just behind him to clear a certain goal! It was still alive, but the visitors worked it away nicely.

The two teams are out, and the atmosphere at Villa Park is simply incredible! They are loving European Football...

After a long spell of deep possession Juventus finally look long, as Locatelli sprays in behind for Conceicao. He did well to get in behind Digne, though after controlling he has been forced to recycle possession.

Conceicao engages in a lengthy battle with Rogers, jinking and jiving, and he eventually forces a free kick. Koopmeiners will swing it in from the right sideline.

Considering the circumstances, Villa ought to be disappointed with that. At home, against an injury-ravaged side they just did not do enough to put pressure on the goal, which you feel could have resulted in them finding a winner. Their run without a win stretches to seven, but overall they do remain on course to qualify for the next round, which was surely their big goal for this season. Their attack was toothless outside of John McGinn, with a couple of tweaks surely in order at the weekend. Morgan Rogers struggled out on the left flank, whilst Leon Bailey was largely ineffective on the right. A disappointing evening for the home side you would have to say.

OFF THE BAR! Digne stepped up, whipping it over the wall with bend towards the top right corner. Di Gregorio was beaten, as it whacked the bar and spun over the top!

McGinn races onto a ball in the left channel, carrying it all the way down into the final third before heading out to the sideline. Kalulu looked to pinch it, but just caught McGinn, bringing him down. The home side will load up the box.

Juve press well and manage to pinch it high on their right, but rather than quickly looking into the box, they are happy to cycle it back to their defence.

After having a real squabble Bailey ends up stealing free kick duties, and ends up smashing it well over the bar. What a waste.

Conceicao picks up a loose ball in his own end, before looking to jink his way down the right. He was caught in a stamping challenge by Tielemans, and despite his protests it is an early booking for the Villa midfielder.

HUGE PENALTY APPEALS! Conceicao collects wide on the right, where he just ghosted around Digne and Rogers, working to the byline. He toed back inside, where it struck the hand of Torres! Juventus appealed in unison, but his hand was down by his side, so it is quickly waved away.

A grinding first half comes to an end with the game still scoreless. After being a real bore for the most part, things did just start to open up in the final ten minutes of the half, as the home side particularly worked some decent efforts on goal including Digne striking the bar just before the break. It was largely a chess match though, with neither side pressing high, and both sides being quite keen to retain possession in and around the halfway line. One might suggest that the lack of senior outfield substitutions means Juventus are quite happy to get out of here with a point, and at least for the first 45, were more concerned about conserving their energy. If that is the case, then they certainly didn't expend much in the first half, as both sides took turns enjoying deep possession. Here's hoping the game gets a bit livelier in the second half!

Conceicao delivers another cross from the right, but with no real target, it is relatively easily dealt with. Cambiaso chopped it back, but it was just behind Yildiz, allowing Bailey to relieve the pressure.

Kamara looks to split the lines but fails to find the right gap, and Gatti then manages to beat the press, giving Juventus the chance to fly forwards - they choose not to though, instead keep possession patiently.
