How to watch Ajax v Aston Villa in the UEFA Europa Conference League on TNT Sports and discovery+, live stream and TV

Aston Villa will travel to Ajax for the first leg of their blockbuster last-16 UEFA Europa Conference League tie, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

Villa are flying high in the Premier League this season, sitting in fourth place, five points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham.

They have a striker in red-hot form, with Ollie Watkins scoring five goals in his last three matches, and a manager with experience of European success, with Unai Emery a four-time UEFA Europa League winner.

Emery will be aiming to lead Villa to their first silverware since 1996.

Ajax have recovered from a poor start to the season to move up to fifth in the Dutch Eredivisie.
