Aston Villa will face Wolves in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup

Aston Villa have been drawn at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. The match will take place at Villa Park on a weekday evening on the W/C October 28th.

Previously, Aston Villa had earned the chance to take the second step on their League Cup journey after beating Crewe Alexandra 6-1. Conor Hourihane scored twice, with Jack Grealish, Ezri Konsa, Frederic Guilbert, and Keinan Davis adding a goal each. Today, they earned their place in the fourth round by beating Brighton 3-1 at the Amex Stadium. Jack Grealish scored - with Jota and Conor Hourihane preceding him - to send Villa through to the next round.

Their local rivals, Wolves, beat Reading after a penalty shootout. Nuno’s men have struggled slightly in the league so far and will be looking to spark some joy in their cup runs - they are also playing in European football this season.

This is the furthest that Aston Villa have gotten in the League Cup for a number of years, and to go one step further, they will have to slay the Wolves. Up the Villa.
