In the last official semi-final Aston Villa played in Europe it was Lille who prevailed.

Dion Dublin, Peter Crouch, Gareth Barry and Darius Vassell had their hopes dashed with a 3-1 aggregate defeat.

That it was the Intertoto Cup in August ahead of the 2002-03 season will not carry much weight historically but, now, the Ligue 1 side stand in Villa’s way of making the last four in the Europa Conference League on Thursday.

Joking aside, it would be a first major European semi-final for Villa since 1982 – when they won the European Cup.

A slender 2-1 advantage from last week’s quarter-final first leg keeps them in the ascendancy but only just.

Lille dangerman Jonathan David said the hosts need to be more astute if they are to progress.

He was disappointed with their wastefulness in the first leg and that edge would have given Villa an even sterner test against a side who have won 10 of their 14 Ligue 1 home games.

Lille have not lost at The Stade Pierre-Mauroy since September, their only home defeat in all competitions this term, and while Villa remain favourites to win the competition Thursday will test that theory.

Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga on Sunday for the first time in their 120-year history.

They did it with five games to spare, extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to 43 matches.

West Ham, who were defeated 2-0 in Germany last week in the first leg of their Europa League tie against Xabi Alonso's team, must try and become the first team to beat them this season, if they are to stand any chance of going through.

West Ham boss David Moyes is hoping key forward Jarrod Bowen will be fit to return for Thursday's Europa League quarter-final second leg against Bayer Leverkusen at London Stadium.

Bowen, 27, missed the 2-0 first-leg defeat and last week's Premier League match with Fulham with a hip injury.

The England international, who has 19 goals in all competitions this season, returned to training on Wednesday.

"It was great to see Jarrod out there," said Moyes.

"I would never risk a player if I thought they were injured but you always want your best players back in, your goalscorers as well, and Jarrod has been that this season."

Moyes added that Bowen's return would "give us and the crowd a real lift" as his side look to come from behind to reach a European semi-final for the second straight season.

The Hammers will, however, be without suspended midfielder Lucas Paqueta.

With three Premier League clubs looking reach the next round of their respective European competitions this evening, the Euro Club Index, external has earmarked Aston Villa as the team with the highest chance of winning Europa Conference League (33.2%).

Unai Emery's side have a 2-1 advantage going into their second leg at Lille (17:45 BST).

Liverpool have a 4.1% chance of winning the Europa League, given they trail Atalanta 3-0 after the first leg at Anfield, while last season's Conference League champions West Ham are in with a 1.3% chance, after they fell to a 2-0 first-leg defeat at Bayer Leverkusen last week.

Almost 48 years ago Liverpool produced a captivating comeback against Club Brugge in the Uefa Cup final to kick-off a tradition of spine-tingling European nights at Anfield.

Back in the 70s the Uefa Cup final was still played over two legs, and had an away goals rule if the scores were tied.

So when Liverpool went 2-0 down at home in the opening 15 minutes of the first leg, the writing seemed on the wall.

But manager Bob Paisley brought on Jimmy Case at half-time and he levelled the scoring in the 61st minute, after Ray Kennedy had pulled a goal back two minutes earlier.

And the turnaround was complete when Kevin Keegan then netted from the spot four minutes later, as Liverpool ultimately won the leg 3-2.

Three weeks later the Reds held Club Brugge to a 1-1 draw to win the Uefa Cup 4-3 on aggregate and lift their second ever European trophy, sparking a rich run of success.

Liverpool had a tricky tie in the European Cup quarters against French champions Saint-Etienne, who had reached the final the season before.

After losing the first leg in France 1-0, Kevin Keegan levelled the tie for the Reds in the second minute of a memorable night at Anfield.

But things quickly went downhill in the second half with Saint-Etienne retaking the lead.

That meant they led the tie 2-1 on aggregate and, because of the away goals rule, Liverpool would have to score twice more to go through.

They got one back in the 58th minute through Ray Kennedy and six minutes from time super sub David Fairclough held off two defenders to score at the Kop end and spectacularly send his side through.

The Reds would then cruise past Zurich 6-1 on aggregate in the semi-finals before beating Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1, to lift their first European Cup.

Four-time winners Liverpool were hoping to lift their first Champions League title in 21 years.

But the 2004-05 campaign looked to be heading towards a limp early exit, with Liverpool needing to beat Olympiakos by two clear goals in their final group match to advance at the Greek side's expense.

Things got off to a bad start at Anfield after Brazilian Rivaldo's free-kick gave the visitors a 1-0 lead at half-time.

But Florent Sinama Pongolle pulled a goal back for the Reds after the break and Neil Mellor gave the home side hope, putting them 2-1 up in the 81st minute.

And it was club legend Steven Gerrard who netted Liverpool's third with four minutes remaining, with a beauty of a strike that gave his side a crucial two-goal lead.

After the group stages, Rafa Benitez's team beat Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus and Chelsea in the knockouts to set up a final with Italian giants AC Milan.

The Miracle of Istanbul. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest finals in the history of the European Cup and Champions League.

AC Milan were favourites and went ahead in the first minute through captain Paolo Maldini before Hernan Crespo scored twice to give the Serie A giants a 3-0 half-time lead.

But Liverpool pulled a goal back in the 54th minute when Gerrard headed in John Arne Riise's cross, before Vladimir Smicer added a second from long range two minutes later.

On the hour mark Gerrard won his side a penalty after he was fouled by Gennaro Gattuso. Xabi Alonso's spot-kick was saved but he buried the rebound to complete Liverpool's improbable three-goal comeback.

The match went to extra time when, in the 117th minute, Liverpool keeper Jerzy Dudek denied Andriy Shevchenko with a fine double save.

And Liverpool would then win it on penalties. Milan's Serginho blasted his effort over the bar before Dudek kept out Andre Pirlo. Then, with Shevchenko needing to score to keep Milan in it, Dudek produced another save to go down in Reds folklore.

Less than a year into his tenure as Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp witnessed his team produce one of Anfield's greatest comebacks against his former club in the Europa League.

Liverpool had drawn 1-1 at Borussia Dortmund in their quarter-final first leg, but quickly went 2-0 down inside the first 10 minutes of the second leg - falling 3-1 behind on aggregate.

Because of the away goals rule Liverpool had to win the tie outright to avoid elimination. They pulled one back through Divock Origi just after the restart, but that strike was soon cancelled out by Marco Reus.

Liverpool halved the deficit through Philippe Coutinho in the 66th minute. Eleven minutes later Mamadou Sakho levelled things at 3-3.

And in the 91st minute Dejan Lovren completed a fantastic turnaround with a thumping header in front of a joyous Kop end.

Cue magical celebrations at Anfield - although Liverpool would ultimately fall in the final against Sevilla.

After losing their 2019 semi-final first leg 3-0 in Barcelona, Liverpool staged one of the greatest turnarounds the Champions League has ever seen.

Divock Origi started the unlikely revival, tapping home from close range after seven minutes.

But it was only when substitute Georginio Wijnaldum scored twice in the space of 122 seconds after the break that the tie truly swung in Liverpool's favour.

Barcelona were rattled and Origi struck again with the goal that would decide the tie on aggregate, after Trent Alexander-Arnold caught the visitors napping from a corner.

They made the final, where they beat Tottenham 2-0 to lift their sixth Champions League title.

Matt: Palace 3-1 Wolves in 2010. Underdog victory. Butterfield's Defender as Striker hat-trick. Best replay ever.

Manchester United also drew with Exeter at home in 2005, while Burton - still a non-league club that this point - got United in the 2005-06 season.

Leyton Orient got a replay at Arsenal in fifth round in 2011, and the following year it was Stevenage's turn to go to North London, facing Spurs at White Hart Lane.

In 2016, Exeter travelled to Liverpool in the third round., external

Two money-spinning replays occurred in 2020, as Rochdale drew at home to Newcastle at home and Shrewsbury drew against Liverpool, also at home.

Shrewsbury generated £100k from facing Jurgen Klopp's team at Anfield., external

John: Best FA Cup replay has to be Man Utd v Arsenal 1999. "That" goal from Giggs, Keane sent off, Schmeichel saving a penalty from Bergkamp. So much in one match and without the win, no treble for United. Amazing match.

Bastian Schweinsteiger joined Manchester United shortly after they faced Cambridge United in the FA Cup during the 2014-15 season.

According to the Guardian,, external the club bought new toilets with the money they earned during that Cup run. That totalled about £1.5m, with a large portion of that coming from earning a fourth-round replat at Old Trafford.

Former midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger says he was banned from first-team training by manager Jose Mourinho during his time at Manchester United.

The ex-Germany international, who won the World Cup in 2014, was with the Reds from 2015 to 2017 but made just 18 league starts and barely featured during the 2016-17 season before leaving for Chicago Fire in March 2017.

In a recent interview with fellow former Red Gary Neville on The Overlap podcast, Schweinsteiger revealed how he was cut off by manager Jose Mourinho.

Manchester City won last year's FA Cup en route to the Treble, but the Blues won't be able to repeat that feat this season after being knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals by Real Madrid.

The Spanish giants won on penalties after Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva had tame efforts saved by Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.

But did on-loan Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga help Lunin save Silva's penalty having previously faced City in a League Cup final shootout with Chelsea?
