With Villa Park still buzzing after the Villans' famous win against Bayern Munich last time out, they welcome Italian strugglers Bologna next. Things couldn't be going much better for Unai Emery's men right now as they also sit fourth in the Premier League. But they won't want to keep relying on late heroism from Jhon Durán — expect them to be well drilled and fully prepared for their visitors today.

Times are much tougher for Bologna. It's a month to the day since they last won a game of football, with three straight Serie A draws and a loss last time out in this competition to Liverpool. And the mood got even sourer in Vincenzo Italiano's camp at the weekend when I Rossoblù blew a two-goal lead to draw against Genoa.

Will the home side's perfect start to the Champions League be spoilt by the Italians? Keep reading as we explain how to watch Aston Villa vs Bologna live streams from anywhere.
