NextGen date with Olympiacos at Villa Park fixed

Villa's NextGen Series quarter-final tie with Greek outfit Olympiacos will take place at Villa Park on Wednesday March 20 with a 7pm kick off.

The game should be broadcast live and in HD on British Eurosport for those who can't make it to see the game in person.

Mikey Drennan's goals have helped Villa bounce through the competition with wins over Celtic, PSV Eindhoven and Sporting Lisbon, followed by a win over Ajax in their own backyard in the last 16. However doubts surround Mikey's fitness for the game.

Olympiacos qualified by winning Group 6 ahead of Arsenal, Marseille and Athletic Bilbao before going on to conquer Anderlecht 2-1 in the first knockout round.

This will be the last chance this season to see the NextGen team in action at Villa Park as the semi-finals and final take place between March 29 and April 1 at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in Lake Como.

English clubs take part in every quarter final. The other ties are: Arsenal v CSKA Moscow, Chelsea v Juventus and Tottenham v Sporting Lisbon.
