Holding onto Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran is key for Villa. If one of them goes... I know people say that they can't play together or they haven't played well together but they have dovetailed pretty well in terms of when one comes on for another in games.

Unai Emery will want to go as far as possible in this competition and in the Premier League, and for Aston Villa to continue building as a club, I don't think he will want either to go.

Aston Villa have rejected an approach from Arsenal for England striker Ollie Watkins.

Sources confirmed to BBC Sport the Gunners made their enquiry for the 29-year-old on Monday.

Watkins started in Villa's Champions League game against Celtic on Wednesday night at Villa Park, with reports of a £60m Arsenal bid first surfacing hours before kick-off.

Villa sources say they have no intention of allowing Watkins to leave, especially with continued speculation linking fellow striker Jhon Duran with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Sources also told BBC Sport that Villa are unhappy with the timing of the approach, which came in the build-up to a key Champions League fixture and a week before January's transfer deadline day.

It is not clear if Arsenal will return with further offers before Monday's 23:00 GMT deadline.

A pretty good night for Villa, but this news broke during the second half...

So, with that in mind, it's confirmed...

Bayern Munich or Real Madrid for Celtic in the next round.

They'll find out who on Friday.

Wowza.

Villa fully deserve a top eight finish.

What a boost not having to play those extra two games.

Going by the scenes at Villa Park, I think that's their top eight spot confirmed.

Absolutely incredible from Unai Emery's side.

We still don't know if Villa have confirmed top eight, but, what we do know is...

A Villa coach was checking the scores on his phone just before the whistle blew. I hope he was checking this live text...

A pulsating classic ends at Villa Park.

Both had already qualified for the play-off round at least, but my goodness did they put on a show.

Morgan Rogers' hat-trick should be enough to take Villa into the top eight, but it's the play-offs for Celtic.

Dane Murray just takes too long, and Ollie Watkins wins it back.

When it comes to Rogers, he's got so much time.

It is a dreadful mistake from Murray and Rogers picks it up, tries to go round Schmeichel.

It comes back to Rogers and he finishes with aplomb.

He has been unplayable at times.

Three minutes of added time...

This new format, people are split. It is brilliant, isn't it?

Nicolas Kuhn gives away a cheap free-kick.

He's not been quiet as effective as usual in this second half.

Midfielder Luke McCowan and defender Dane Murray are on for Reo Hatate and Liam Scales.

21-year-old Murray is on for his first appearance for the club since 2021. He was on loan at Queen's Park for the first half of the season and impressed with Callum Davidson's Championship side.

It's another cracking attack from Aston Villa and an equally impressive save from Kasper Schmeichel.

Morgan Rogers has a huge chance for a hat-trick as he's sent through by a brilliant Leon Bailey through ball. But, the Denmark captain races off his line and makes himself big to bat the shot with his right arm.

Some of this stuff Villa do with the football is incredible.
