Analysis

Aston Villa edge this contest on squad quality and home comforts, but Coventry's competitive form and direct style makes this far from a foregone conclusion. Expect an open, attacking encounter where Villa's clinical finishing and midfield control should prevail, though Coventry's work ethic offers genuine upset potential.
