After an excellent start to their league campaign, Bolton Rovers aim to spark an EFL Cup upset by hosting Aston Villa at Bolton University Stadium on Tuesday night.

Five-time-winning Villa entered this game stage with a humiliating weekend defeat when Trotter drew in the second round at Salford City earlier this month.

After a season-ending injury to the summer signing Diego Carlos, Aston Villa lost their second away game of the season on Saturday against Crystal Palace.

Steven Gerrard’s side beat Everton at home after a mild capitulation at Bournemouth in the Premier League opener, but despite taking the lead at Selhurst Park through Ollie Watkins, But they were eventually beaten by a confident home team.

Faced with mounting pressure from restless fans and having lost 14 of 30 games since taking over from Dean Smith, Gerrard is now turning to cup competition, where he is likely to make some serious losses. Less used edge players bleed.

Ahead of a long trip to Plymouth next weekend, Ian Ewart’s men will welcome another crowd to their Lancashire headquarters as the big boys end their winning streak on Wednesday after 22,000 fans passed through the gates to witness the end of their winning streak. Most will come back hoping to see the Cup upset.

With eight points from five games putting them seventh in the early league table, promotion fees are very likely and knocking out their former Premier League colleagues will only fuel the momentum.

Despite their sluggish start to the season heading north, the Aston Villa XI, which starts on Tuesday, is set to change a lot and their top-level experience should prevent them from being rolled over. Bolton seldom lose at home, but they now find themselves taking things to the next level in the classroom.
