The majority of the first-team will sit this one one as they head to the Club World Cup, meaning the squad will have a youthful flavour and be led by coach Neil Critchley.
Villa are battling relegation from the top-flight but are decent at home, having only lost two of their last eight on this ground.
What time is kick-off?
THIS Carabao Cup clash is set for Tuesday, December 17.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm.
Villa won the last cup tie between the sides on this ground, running out 2-1 winners in the FA Cup four years ago in 2015.
But the last two league meetings have gone the Reds, by an aggregate score of 8-1.
