Aston Villa and Club Brugge entered halftime at a 1-1 draw after Villa's early goal from Leon Bailey. Meanwhile, Arsenal is aiming for the Champions League as their main chance for a trophy this season, given their struggles in domestic competitions and a notable gap behind Liverpool. To progress, Arsenal must overcome PSV, setting the stage for a potentially daunting clash against Real or Atletico Madrid. Mikel Arteta's mixed history against PSV adds intrigue to the matchup.
In the early kick-off, Aston Villa got off to a flying start through Leon Bailey, but have been pegged back by Club Brugge. It's 1-1 at half-time.
Out of both domestic cups and 13 points behind Liverpool in the title race, the Champions League now represents Arsenal's best chance at a trophy this season.
Should Arsenal get past PSV over two legs, a showdown with either Real or Atletico Madrid awaits Mikel Arteta's depleted squad.
Arteta has taken on PSV four times in Europe with decidedly mixed results: 1-0, 0-2, 4-0 and 1-1.
