Europa League 2025-2026: Fenerbahce-Aston Villa, the likely formations
Thursday evening in the Europa League schedule (here, continuously updated, the probable lineups of numerous matches to be played throughout Europe on the day) there’s also the challenge between Fenerbahce and Aston Villa.
Domenico Tedesco’s Turks are struggling to break into the top 8 in the standings, but against the Villans they will need a capital performance to get a result. In addition to the disqualified Yandas, the Istanbul lineup will also have to do without Brown.
To defend the goal will be Ederson, helped by Muldur, Skriniar, Demir and Oosterwolde. Yuksek and Fred will act as a wall in front of the defense to relieve Akturkoglu, Asensio and Talisca from rebounding duties, in front as the only forward Duran.
Anai Emery will be in charge.
Unai Emery will not be able to count on Onana, McGinn, Kamara and Barkley for the challenge against Fenerbahce but is aiming for the big spoils to consolidate their position in the standings. Between the posts will be Bizot with Cash, Konsa, Mings and Digne in front of him, Tielemans and Lindelof on the median line with Guessand, Rogers and Sancho further forward. Ollie Watkins the only point.
