Big news coming from Aston Villa, and the club are reportedly set to breach UEFA's spending rules for 2024.

The Times' Martyn Ziegler states the Villans are set to be over the squad cost ratio guidelines set in place by Europe's governing body.

This follows Villa trying to get the same rules, that are set to be introduced by the top-flight, increased from 85 per cent to 90 per cent due to the amount of money they currently spend on wages.

Now, this all sounds rather dramatic, and many Villans could be forgiven for thinking that a ban or a point deduction could be on the way.

However, that isn't the case.

Instead, Unai Emery's men are likely to face a financial penalty of a few million.

Right, the weekend's Premier League action starts this evening with a big game for Leicester at home.

talkSPORT will have live commentary of the match, with Hugh Woozencroft serving as your presenter.

Commentary will come from Joe Shennan and former Chelsea defender Scott Minto.

The Foxes are in the relegation zone and need three points or they could end up drifting away by the end of the weekend.

However, a win would take Ruud van Nistelrooy's men out of the drop zone.

Meanwhile, for Brentford, Thomas Frank has told his players they would be in the race for Europe with a win.

The Bees would move up to tenth if they take three points from the King Power.

So, it's a big one.

UEFA have confirmed the kick-off times for the Europa League last-16 ties, and it's bad news for broadcasters and British fans.

That is because all of the three British sides will play the first legs of their ties at 5:45pm UK time.

Usually, the matches are divided so that at least one team kicks off at 8pm, but that isn't the case this time.

That means Tottenham, Manchester United and Rangers all start at the same time.

All ties are set to be on the 6th of March.

17:45pm: AZ Alkmaar vs Tottenham17:45pm: Fenerbahce vs Rangers17:45pm: Real Sociedad vs Man United17:45pm: FCSB vs Lyon 8pm: Ajax vs Frankfurt 8pm: Bodo / Glimt vs Olympiacos 8pm: Roma vs Athletic Bilbao 8pm: Viktoria Plzen vs LazioCredit: GettyCopied

Fulham manager Marco Silva has revealed that Reiss Nelson could be out for the rest of the season.

All Premier League clubs are on the same side of the draw, so an all-English final is impossible to happen.

But that potential quarter-final line-up looks tasty!

Former Manchester United defender Phil Jones believes teenage talent Chido Obi-Martin will be at the forefront of the team's revival.

United supporters got a glimpse of the future during the 1-0 loss to Tottenham last Sunday as the young striker made his senior debut.

"Working in and around the academy and helping those young players develop, United have some really good and talented young players coming through," Jones said on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast.

“The squad had a lot of injuries against Tottenham and the bench was full of kids, but there were some talented players on that bench.

"People might not know a lot about them now, but they certainly will in the next few years.

“I think you look at Kobbie Mainoo, top player, you look at Chido who we’ve just signed from Arsenal, who’s an animal.

"You look at Amad who had a couple of really good loans, and I remember watching him winning it against Liverpool in extra time last season, and I had said at that time he’d play a huge part in the next season.

“I played with Amad for a year or two and you could see then that the quality he had was really good and really strong.

"As I said there’s a great crop of young players ready to be given the chance and integrated into the team.”

Jose Mourinho was feeling all of the emotions as his Fenerbache side all-but booked their spot in the Europa League Round of 16.

The Turkish visitors had threatened to surrender their four goal aggregate lead prior to the game's early suspension.

Following the restart, Anderlecht scored twice to go ahead 2-1 on the night and off themselves a faint shot at a remarkable comeback.

However, Yusuf Akçiçek's close-range header from a corner levelled things up at 2-2 and gave Fenerbache an unassailable 5-2 advantage.

A relieved Mourinho on the bench had been living every moment with his players, with cameras catching him thrusting his head forwards before Akçiçek tapped home.
