Aston Villa hold a narrow 2-1 lead as they head to northern France to take on Lille in the second leg of this Europa Conference League quarterfinal.
Goals from Ollie Watkins and John McGinn gave Villa a flying start in the opening encounter. But Bafodé Diakité flicked in a header from Angel Gomes' cross with just six minutes remaining, earning Lille a potentially crucial goal going into this decisive second leg.
Lille have the advantage of having had a weekend off from domestic Ligue 1 action. Gomes, a former England Under-21 and Man United forward, is likely to have fully recovered from the hamstring injury that restricted him to a brief cameo in the first leg.
Villa boss Unai Emery's defensive selection options have been boosted by the return of Clément Lenglet and Matty Cash, meanwhile.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch every game live wherever you are in the world.
Aston Villa captain John McGinn scored his side's second goal in their 2-1 win over Lille in the first leg at Villa Park.

How to watch Lille vs. Aston Villa online from anywhere using a VPNIf you find yourself unable to view Europa Conference League matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the action -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
