The final two rounds of Champions League matches will see important points up for grabs in the race for an automatic qualifying spot to the knockout stage.
Aston Villa have enjoyed an excellent debut campaign in the competition, winning four of their six matches to sit fifth in the standings. A win on matchday seven could see them end the round as high as second in the table.
Monaco still have work to do in order to secure a playoff spot. The Ligue 1 side have suffered defeats in their last two, and have won just half of their six matches in the competition this season.
