But they then lost to Club Bruges and drew with Juventus, while the wins similarly dried up at home in the Premier League. They have arrested that slump, with back-to-back wins in the Premier League, and they'll be aiming to carry that momentum to Europe against a Red Bull Leipzig side that have struggled in the competition so far. Having lost all five of their matches, they sit 34th out of 36 teams in the first league phase of the Champions League, and realistically they must beat Villa on Tuesday night to stand any chance of progressing.
