Aston Villa will be looking to gain an early advantage over Blackburn Rovers when the two teams clash in their Carling Cup semi final match on Thursday. Find out if Aston Villa can pose a realistic challenge for silverware this season by signing up with us here on watch football now.
Villa have not played a single game for almost two weeks since their FA Cup clash against Blackburn which they won by a comfortable 3-1 margin.
The semi final clash scheduled on January 5 was called off due to heavy snowfall and the weather played spoilsport over the weekend with Villa’s match against Wigan Athletic also being postponed.
Manager Martin O’Neill will be pleased with his side’s performances so far this season and is aware that Carling Cup provides the perfect opportunity for his side to snap out of a barren run and win a trophy.
With his side struggling for form in the league, Blackburn Rovers manager will be hoping for a repeat of the performance from early this season when his side beat Villa 2-1. Blackburn produced one of the biggest upsets in recent years as they dumped out Chelsea in the quarter finals.
