Aston Villa v CSKA Moscow Live

Aston Villa face a tough draw against Russian side CSKA Moscow in the first leg of the last 32 of the UEFA Cup, which is live online here at www.oleolefootball.com at 19:00 GMT on Wednesday 18^th February 2009 with live European football.

Villa are currently flying high in the Premier League and have surprised many with their current form, having not lost in the Premier League since the start of November. The English side come into the game on the back of a rare 3-1 defeat at the hands of Everton in the fifth round of the F.A cup last weekend.

Aston Villa managed to qualify for the final 32 after finishing 3^rd in their UEFA Cup qualifying group, despite defeats to MSK Zilina and Hamburg in their last two games of the group. Should Villa progress they could face a potential all-English clash in the last 16 if Tottenham manage to progress past Shakhtar Donetsk

CSKA Moscow were the surprise winners of the tournament back in 2005 after beating Portuguese side Sporting CP in the final 3-1. The result marked a tremendous year for the Russian side after becoming not only the first Russian side to win a major European trophy, but also the first to complete a treble after claiming both the Russian Premier League and the Russian Cup that year as well.

CSKA will prove a tough opponent for Villa after becoming the only side not to lose a game in the group stages with 4 consecutive wins in Group H, despite strong representation from the likes of Deportivo and Feyenoord.
