Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard has said he will field a strong team against Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup second round but left a question mark over whether highly rated youngster Cameron Archer will be involved or not.
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.
