The Villans will be a tough opponent for the League One outfit.

Wycombe Wanderers have started the new season in mixed form as they currently find themselves in the ninth position. They have played six games thus far and have collected three wins, one draw, and two losses in the process.

Matt Bloomfield’s side, despite their slow start, have picked the pace at the right time after managing to remain unbeaten in their last five matches. However, their chances of moving to the next round look slim as they take on Aston Villa who have dominated this fixture in recent times.

Aston Villa have started the new season from where they left last term. The Villans have looked impressive this season and are currently occupying the fourth spot in the Premier League after five matches securing four wins and losing once.

Unai Emery’s team have also done well in the Champions League marking their debut with a 3-0 win over Young Boys. This season looks like a breakthrough year for them as they focus on winning some silverware to cap off last season’s success. They have been handed a good draw which they will use to make some changes here.

Players to Watch

Cameron Humphreys (⁠Wycombe Wanderers)

Wycombe Wanderers will be delighted by the impact of their loan signing from Ipswich Town. Cameron Humphreys has already scored two goals in four matches in the league and remains their most important player. Naturally, a left-back, he has adapted to his new role in the left-wing position impressively.

His pace coupled with his directness in the final third has caused numerous problems for the opposition who have found him difficult to mark.

Jhon Duran (Aston Villa)

Jhon Duran has been in red-hot form for this season. Everything he shoots turns out to find the back of the net. Despite not starting a single match this season, the Colombian striker is already leading the goal-scoring charts with four goals from five matches that too playing just 131 minutes.

While he has emerged as a threat inside the box, Duran has also taken everyone by surprise by scoring some excellent long rangers.
