Bolton Wanderers vs Aston Villa: Sky Sports TV channel details, how to watch & match odds

Bolton Wanderers take on Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup second round.

Wanderers host the Premier League side at the University of Bolton Stadium with a place in the third round up for grabs. The reward for victory in the televised clash could be facing a top flight team involved in European competitions such as Liverpool or Manchester City.

Like Bolton, Villa go into the game on the back of a defeat. Gerrard's side suffered a 3-1 loss at the hands of Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday, which leaves them 13th in the Premier League table.
