Aston Villa start three debutants for Coventry Carabao Cup tie | OneFootball

Unai Emery has named three new signings for full debuts in Aston Villa’s Carabao Cup third-round trip to Coventry. Ibrahim Mbaye, Matteo Ruggeri and Taylor Harwood-Bellis all start at the CBS Arena.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, they are among seven changes from the side that began on Saturday. Villa lost 2-1 to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

Tammy Abraham makes his first start of the season up front. Lamare Bogarde comes in to partner Ross Barkley in central midfield.

There is no place in the starting XI for Chelsea loanee Alejandro Garnacho, who is named among the substitutes alongside the fit-again Matty Cash.

Midfielder Joao Gomes is not involved in the squad.

Villa face the Sky Blues for the first time since 2001. Their last meeting was the match that sent Coventry down from the Premier League.
