Today's Aston Villa vs Celtic live stream features another Battle of Britain as both sides look to cement a spot in the Champions League last 16 without need of extra games in the playoff round. Below we have all the information on how to watch Aston Villa vs Celtic from anywhere with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and live streams on TV screens, laptops, tablets and mobiles.

Eighth in the Premier League after two successive draws, Aston Villa need a morale-boosting win after just one victory in their past four Champions League outings has left them sweating for a last 16 spot that had seemed certain. Ninth in the league, a win should be enough for Unai Emery's side to skip the nervy playoff round, but Tyrone Mings' weekend knee injury – though not as serious as first feared – means their center-back crisis has worsened. Left-back Lucas Digne deputized on Sunday and may have to do so again, but there's better news that captain John McGinn returned from hamstring trouble against West Ham at the weekend.

Celtic, meanwhile, are already assured of their first appearance in the Champions League knockouts since 2012/13 but will be determined to record a victory that would give Brendan Rodgers' side a decent shot at a spot in the top eight and direct qualification for the last 16. The Bhoys could well have let the 7-1 matchday 2 demolition at Borussia Dortmund affect them but the goalless draw with free-scoring Atalanta, who average two goals a game in Serie A, and a 3-1 win against RB Leipzig have restored the 1967 European champions' confidence. The Scottish Premiership leaders' star forward Kyogo Furuhashi has joined Ligue 1 side Rennes, while returning replacement Jota is ineligible.
