Spanish giant Barcelona will look to get back to winning ways in the Champions League on Tuesday as it faces a free-scoring Aston Villa team at Camp Nou.

Barca crashed to its first defeat of this year’s competition last time out, losing to defending champs Paris Saint-Germain 4–2. Hansi Flick’s squad followed up that loss with a stinging domestic defeat to rivals Real Madrid in El Clásico but bounced back in style at the weekend with a comprehensive 6-1 drubbing of Alavés in La Liga on Saturday. 

After a summer of much upheaval, today’s match meanwhile marks a good indicator of Aston Villa’s recent progress under Unai Emery. The Villains have responded well to losing a host of key players such as Morgan Rogers, Ezri Konsa, Youri Tielemans and Emiliano Martínez during the summer, winning all three of their UCL games so far against Club Brugge, Fenerbahçe and Viking. 

Barcelona takes on Aston Villa on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at Camp Nou in Barcelona, with kickoff set for 9 p.m. CEST local time in Spain. That makes it an 8 p.m. GMT start in the UK and a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada. For soccer fans Down Under, it’s a 7 a.m. AEDT start in Australia on Wednesday.
