The Carabao Cup is well underway with the last of the second round games set to take place later tonight.
Villa will once again enter the competition in the third round after qualifying for Europe for the second season running.

However, last season, Villa did not make it out of the third round as they were defeated by Everton 2-1.
Now, Unai Emery will look to rectify this as he aims to end the Villians’ major trophy drought.
