Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur
Just barely 48 hours after a tough victory over Cardiff City on Sunday evening, our boys travel to Villa Park to kick off our Capital One Cup campaign this season.
Paul Lambert has been forced to rest several players who have featured thus far in the Barclays Premier League, the likes of Gabby Agbonlahor, Christian Benteke, Fabian Delph and Antonio Luna all looking likely to miss out. But he assures the fans that they will go out and try to get a result.
It is the same for AVB. “This is an impossible game for us to play, but hopefully our team spirit and motivation can get us through,” he said. “It (the Capital One Cup) is not our absolute number one priority but I don’t think we have been given a fair chance to play in this competition this year.
I honestly think that fringe players will feature as we do have to face Chelsea on Saturday. Expect Harry Kane to get a start and Holtby to feature as well. We should also see Vlad Chiriches in defence as well.
The quality is there for us to win this against a weakened Villa team.
