With a four-time Europa League winner in the dugout and players delivering on the pitch, Aston Villa begin their European journey with high hopes just four years on from life in the Championship
It is a thrilling delve into the unknown for Villa, a chance to make the Europa League should they win it – and not qualify via their Premier League position – but success is no guarantee for English sides, as proved by Tottenham the season before West Ham’s triumph.
Losses at Vitesse and Mura were both surprising but also proof that no opponent should be underestimated, and Villa will be wary – given their own lack of European experience – of not taking Legia Warsaw, Zrinjski or AZ Alkmaar too lightly.
