All the action from the CBS Arena.
Good evening from Coventry, where Villa are in town to face their neighbours for the first time since 2001.
The two sides have not met since the Sky Blues were relegated from the Premier League at Villa Park. Tonight they meet in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
