National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Burton Albion or Aston Villa that keep their silverware dream alive.

Burton Albion form and stats

Burton Albion have not come this way in the Carabao Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Accrington Stanley. Last season their Carabao Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.

Burton has five consecutive draws when playing at home, an interesting stat.
