Crystal Palace are gearing up to face Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup fourth round match tonight, with hopes of securing another victory. After a 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur, Oliver Glasner’s team has a chance to advance to the quarter-finals of the competition. Both teams are expected to make some changes to their lineups, but with Aston Villa also playing in Europe, Palace could have an advantage with key players being rested.
The match is scheduled to take place at Villa Park on October 30, 2024, with a kick-off time at 19:45 (GMT). In case of a draw after regular time, the game will proceed straight to penalties without extra time. Fans can catch the action live on Sky Sports +, which is included in a standard Sky Sports subscription. Viewers can find the channel on linear channel number 410 for Sky Glass customers, 412 for Sky Q customers, and 416 for ROI, at no additional cost. Subscribers can also stream the match through the Sky Sports app for added convenience.
In terms of team news, Crystal Palace might field a strong lineup to capitalize on their recent league win. Ismaila Sarr’s availability is in question due to an injury, potentially paving the way for Eddie Nketiah to start against his former manager Unai Emery. Cheick Doucoure is still recovering from an ankle injury, so Will Hughes is expected to feature in midfield, while newcomer Asher Agbinone will be eager to make another impact on the field.
As the two teams prepare to battle it out in the Carabao Cup, fans can expect an exciting clash between Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. Stay tuned to see which side will emerge victorious and secure a spot in the next round of the competition.
