Gordon has settled in really well to this Barcelona side, and has had the most shots on target of any Barcelona player in the Champions League this season.

All four of his shots on target actually came in one game, as Barcelona beat Galatasaray 4-1 a few weeks ago. That may sound alarming, but his record in LaLiga suggests that he’s much more consistent when it comes to finding the target.

Only Raphinha and Yamal (both 19) have had more shots on target than Gordon in LaLiga this season. The former Newcastle winger is averaging 1.81 shots on target per 90 domestically - and has found the target in 70% of his LaLiga matches.

It’s also worth noting that one of the main reasons as to why Barcelona went for Gordon in the summer was because of his record in the Champions League last season.

Gordon scored 10 goals across just nine starts for a Newcastle side that struggled to deal with the quality of the Champions League. He had 14 shots on target during that campaign, working out to an average of 1.64 shots on target per 90.

Believe it or not, only Mbappe (10) has had more shots on target in the Champions League this season than Nicolas Jackson (8).

He’s found the target twice in all three of his Champions League matches against Brugge, Fenerbahce and Viking. While this is an obvious step up in quality, Barcelona still offer up so many chances to opposition sides with their high line.

Jackson’s movement is really clever, and has improved further working under the guidance of Unai Emery - who seems to have a way to get the most out of forwards that previously haven’t been that clinical.

Jackson should also be full of confidence. He’s scored in each of his last two Premier League matches against Fulham and Man City, managing a shot on target in each of his last five games domestically.

Hansi Flick confirmed in a recent press conference that he has no intention of changing Barcelona’s style of play, which sees them play with a ridiculously high line without really having the right profiles to play in this way.

Their forward options almost always account for this weakness, but it does mean that Barcelona regularly give up chances to the opposition. They’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last five matches, and have only kept four across their last 14 games more widely.

This defensive weakness obviously leads to more work for Joan Garcia, who is a top keeper. He’s been forced into making 20 saves across his 10 starts domestically (2.11 per 90) and has also been called into action 13 times across his three Champions League starts (4.33 per 90).

Building on the obvious weakness of Barcelona at the back, Aston Villa have enough quality in forward areas to get on the scoresheet.

It would be a real shock if Barcelona didn’t manage to get on the scoresheet here, they’ve scored in each of their last 16 competitive matches - including every game this season.

So we’re mainly looking at Villa to score here, with Jackson and Manzambi being their main threats. Unai Emery’s side have scored at least three goals in every Champions League game so far.

This is an obvious step up in quality from those opponents, but I can’t get away from Barcelona’s risky style of play here which will inevitably lead to Villa getting decent chances in front of goal.

Barcelona have seen BTTS in each of their last five matches, including conceding goals to Deportivo La Coruna and Galatasaray. They also have seen BTTS in all three of their Champions League games.
