With Prince William watching on, Aston Villa’s hopes of automatic qualification for the round of 16 took a blow after a 1-0 loss to Monaco. Villa led the standings early in the league phase of the competition after winning its first three games.

However, Emery has opted to retain Ollie Watkins in his starting lineup rather than hand previous Champions League star Jhon Duran a role in attack. Meanwhile, Adi Hutter has reacted to Monaco's surprise 2-1 reverse at Montpellier by making alterations all over the pitch.
