Meanwhile Blackburn made it to this stage of the competition after beating Norwich 3-1 thanks to a hat-trick from Mame Biram Diouf, who is at Ewood Park on a year-long loan from Man United. Jens Berthel Askou grabbed a consolation goal for Norwich.

Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce will hope his side can repeat the same performance against Villa as well. Last season Blackburn lost 6-5 on aggregate to Aston Villa in the semi-finals of the league cup.
