Is Feyenoord vs Aston Villa on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Europa League match | OneFootball

Aston Villa will hope their early-season blues are behind them as they make the trip to Feyenoord for their second Europa League outing.

Unai Emery’s side ended their wait for a first Premier League win of the season on the weekend, dispatching Fulham 3-1 at Villa Park as Ollie Watkins ended his goal drought.

It came three days after Villa notched their first victory of the campaign period, finding joy in Europe’s second-tier competition as Bologna fell to a slender defeat in the West Midlands.

Villa will hope to maintain this momentum as they clash with Robin Van Persie’s in-form Feyenoord, who currently sit atop the table in the Eredivisie, although they did lose their Europa League opener to Braga.
