European Super Cup: Paris Saint-Germain v Aston Villa – live

Paris Saint-Germain: Safonov, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Neves, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Akliouche, Doue, Kvaratskhelia.

Aston Villa: Bizot, Cash, Lindelof, Torres, Maatsen, McGinn, Gomes, Kamara, Hemmings, Buendia, Madjo.

Aston Villa already have the Super Cup on their roll of honour, of course. Gather round, dear children, and hear tell of a time in which FC Barcelona were less renowned for their Cruyffian devotion to the beautiful game, more interested in toe-punting whoever so much as looked at them all around the shop with great vim and vigour.

The modern-day artistes of Paris Saint-Germain are unlikely to resort to such base hoodlummery this evening. That said, they’ve already thrown a toddler’s tanty over the size of their dressing room, so let’s rule nothing out. Will the European champions put Villa to the sword, just as they did Spurs this time last year? Or will Unai Emery fill an odd gap on his personal resumé, finally converting Europa League glory into Super Cup success at the nth time of asking? We find out soon! Kick-off in Salzburg is at 8pm BST. It’s on!
