Manchester United will look to bounce back from weekend disappointment and gain an immediate measure of revenge over Aston Villa when they host them in the Carabao Cup third round.
The sides met in the Premier League at the weekend and Unai Emery’s side triumphed in his first game at the helm, having been appointed to replace Steven Gerrard.
Erik ten Hag’s team were largely poor and lost ground in the top four race, but they’ll also be hoping to end a trophy drought this season, which means this competition offers a reasonable chance to land silverware.
With just two club matches left before the World Cup, both bosses will be having to balance fitness needs, the opportunity for some players to impress and the benefits of going full tilt across the final days before an enforced break until Boxing Day.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
