Aston Villa vs Bradford City, League Cup Semi-Final Second Leg: Open Thread

Premier League side Aston Villa faces a monumental task today to help save their season and perhaps the job of Paul Lambert.

The Villains are 3-1 down from the first leg, but have an opportunity to try to bounce back today in the second leg. The winner will play in the League Cup Final against either Chelsea or Swansea. League Two side Bradford City would love nothing more than to make it through to the final, where they’ll be bringing thousands of proud Yorkshiremen to Wembley. But before they get carried away, they face an Aston Villa side who — even though they didn’t win on Saturday — will have regained some confidence after their draw against West Bromwich Albion.

For viewers in the United States, the match will be shown live on beIN SPORT with a kick-off time of 2:45pm ET.
