A rotated Aston Villa side will head up north to Crewe in the second round of the Carabao Cup (League Cup).

Villa’s best chance of a shot at silverware this season exists in this tournament, but the early rounds are always full of surprises. The possible debuts of Marvelous Nakamba, Ezri Konsa and Matt Targett await - but despite the changes, Villa cannot become complacent.

Kick-off commences soon, and you can find out how to watch Villa vs Crewe in the Cup.
