This is the 12th time the sides have met in all competitions. Aston Villa have won six matches, Swindon two and there have been three draws.

They have never met in the League Cup before.

Swindon

Swindon are aiming to become the first club from outside the top two divisions to reach the League Cup quarter-finals since Wycombe did it in December 2006.

This is their best run since qualifying for the semi-finals 17 years ago.

Paolo Di Canio’s side have not scored fewer than three goals in a League Cup tie in their three ties so far this season.

The Robins famously beat Arsenal 3-1 to win the 1968-69 League Cup for the only time in their history.

Aston Villa

The first-ever winners of the League Cup have triumphed five times (1961, 1975, 1977, 1994 and 1996), and been runners-up three times (1963, 1971 and 2010).

Aston Villa are targeting a third appearance in the quarter-finals in four seasons.

They last lost to a third-tier club in November 2005, when Doncaster defeated them 3-0 in the fourth round.
