🌲 5:45PM — FC MIDTJYLLAND VS NOTTINGHAM FOREST
THE STORY
- Forest are writing history. For the first time since the glory days of Clough, they're competing in European knockout football — and this fanbase has WAITED for this moment
- Midtjylland are no pushovers at home in Denmark. Their MCH Arena can be a hostile place in March, but Forest's travelling army will be in full voice
- This is exactly the kind of European away day that Forest fans have dreamed about. Cold night in Denmark, a test of character, everything on the line
- Nuno's side have been brilliant domestically but Europe is where legends are made. Time to show they belong at this level
Forest away in Europe. Still sounds strange saying it, doesn't it? But here we are — the team that conquered Europe twice under Brian Clough is back on the continental stage. Midtjylland will make it uncomfortable, they always do at home, but Forest have the quality and the mentality to get a result here.

🦁 8:00PM — ASTON VILLA VS LILLE
THE LOWDOWN
- Villa Park under the lights for European football. Unai Emery has transformed this club and European nights at VP are becoming regular occurrences
- Lille are no mugs — don't forget they knocked out Real Madrid in the Champions League a few years back. Les Dogues travel well
- Emery is a Europa League specialist. Three titles with Sevilla, knows this competition inside out. Villa are in good hands
- The atmosphere at Villa Park on European nights has been electric this season. Expect the same tonight
This is what Emery was brought to Villa for. European knockout football at Villa Park, the Holte End in full voice, a real test against quality French opposition. Lille won't roll over but Villa have the home advantage and a manager who lives for these occasions.
