Aston Villa will be involved in their major European semi-final for over 40 years when they host Olympiakos this week, live on talkSPORT.

Unai Emery's side are just three games away from claiming only the club's second-ever European trophy following their 1982 triumph.

41 years on from their 1-0 win over Bayern Munich, Villa have become a team to be reckoned with in Europe once again.

They have won all five home games in the Europa Conference League this season and are just one away from a club record.

The West Midland outfit sit fourth in the Premier League and are favourites to qualify for next season's Champions League, but remain desperate to win their first major trophy since 1996.

This will be the first competitive meeting between Villa and Olympiakos, who are also fourth in their domestic league.
