Aston Villa open their Carabao Cup campaign tonight with an away trip to Coventry City. The third-round tie kicks off at 20:00 UK time at the Coventry Building Society Arena, as confirmed by the club earlier today.
Villa arrive in the West Midlands following a demanding opening month of the season. Unai Emery’s squad secured a 3-2 victory against Club Brugge in the Champions League last Tuesday but suffered a 1-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.
Tonight offers an opportunity to build momentum in domestic cup competition before returning to league action at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The club published its pre-match notes this morning ahead of the journey to Coventry.
