Aston Villa travel to the Luzhniki Stadium this Thursday to meet CSKA Moscow in the second leg of their Round of 32 UEFA Cup tie. The Luzhniki has a plastic pitch, and the weather there will be colder than what it normally is in England in February. It is a tough challenge for Aston Villa, and you can see how they fare by watching CSKA Moscow v Aston Villa live with free football tv, the best place for watching UEFA Cup online.

Brazilian striker Vagner Love gave CSKA the lead in Birmingham after exchanging passes with Alan Dzagoev, but Norwegian hit man John Carew equalised for Villa with twenty minutes left on the clock. Yuri Zhirkov and Vasili Berezutsky also went close for CSKA.

Both Alan Gregoriev and Sembiras Devidas will be available for selection after missing the first leg through suspension. CSKA’s Brazilian coach Zico has said that his side will fancy their chances at home.

Villa have had a slightly disappointing run of late, which can primarily be attributed to fatigue. They lost to Everton, then drew against CSKA and were clearly second best to Chelsea in the Premier League clash on Saturday. Both Carlos Cuellar and Nigel Reo Coker will not be travelling with the team to Moscow as they are unfit. Ashley Young will have a vital part to play, just as he did in the first leg. His crosses from the left caused all kinds of problems to CSKA at Villa Park, and had Gabriel Agbonlahor and co. taken their chances, Villa could have taken a lead into the second leg.

England struggled on this very pitch to Russia in a Euro 2008 qualifier. Villa skipper Gareth Barry has said that the pitch should not affect their chances of qualification.
