Brentford vs Aston Villa: Kick-off time and how to watch
Aston Villa have little rest as they take on Brentford in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening.
Despite their Premier League campaign not getting off to the best of starts, Tyrone Mings still has lofty ambitions for Villa in the cup competitions this season.
Regardless of the competition, Unai Emery’s side are in desperate need of a win and a positive performance to lift the morale and atmosphere surrounding the club.
Changes are expected to be made for the game against Brentford, and Morgan Rogers could be one of those to make way in the starting XI for new signing Harvey Elliott.
As the Villans get their cup run underway, Villa News informs supporters of the kick-off details and how to watch the game on 16 September.
This is when Aston Villa vs Brentford will kick off
There was a weather warning in place for Villa’s trip to Brentford, but the travelling supporters seemingly do not have to worry about rainfall whilst the game is taking place.
A late midweek kick-off in London arguably makes it even more important for Emery’s men to perform, or they risk the atmosphere from supporters turning toxic as they will likely arrive back in B6 in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
At least they will likely get an extended taste of their new signings in action at 8 pm.
One of the determining factors behind Elliott’s move to Villa was gametime, and the 22-year-old could be set to make his first start for the Lions since his deadline day move from Liverpool.
Marco Bizot is also expected to come in and replace Emi Martinez, who played for the first time since his high-profile transfer saga in which the Argentinian shot-stopper ultimately stayed put.
Victor Lindelof and Jaden Sancho will also be in contention at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Supporters can also watch the game on TV
Villa’s cup tie against Brentford will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
The game will be shown on the Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event channels as Villa make their second trip to the Gtech Community Stadium this season.
NOW TV subscribers will also be able to stream the game, as well as Sky Sports subscribers, on the Sky Sports app.
