Team News
Aston Villa
Bradford
- Paul Lambert would no doubt have liked to field the same side that started at WBA at the weekend but will be without Nathan Baker through injury and Ashley Westwood who is cup-tied.
- Fabian Delph is also a doubt but should be in contention, though the game is likely to come too soon for Richard Dunne, so Eric Lichaj could start.
- Andi Weimann is back available following an illness, while Ireland and Bannan are likely to be in competition to start alongside Delph.
- Bradford have lost both of their games since their memorable first leg win at Valley Parade but should have striker James Hanson back available from a broken toe.
- With their game at the weekend cancelled, Phil Parkinson should have a fit squad to choose from, with Thompson, Darby and Atkinson all back in contention.
- New signing from Kilmarnock Michael Nelson will hope for a debut but the backline is likely to remain unchanged from the first leg.
LOL at Villa fans
