Crewe Alexandra will be looking to upset Aston Villa on Tuesday evening when Dean Smith’s side take on the League Two outfit.
Fresh from their win over Everton at the weekend, Villa will be looking to continue their success with a win over Crewe, and progress in the tournament.
However, Crewe are up for the cup, and midfielder Paul Green revealed that his side are ready to upset the odds and beat the Villans.
Green told the club website .
In football, you wait for days and nights like these where you get to play against top teams with top players. I have been lucky enough to do that in my career and you still get excited for games like this.
It is a big opportunity for us and it will be great for the fans. We know it would be a major upset if a League Two team knocked out a Premier League team but there are always some shocks and that is what we have to believe.
We had a tough game away at Middlesbrough but deserved to win that game in normal time.
They then chuck everything at us and get that late goal so we needed penalties in the win but I think everyone thought we deserved to win the game.

Obviously, Villa are the huge favourites going into the game, but they will still have to be at their best.
Crewe beat Middlesbrough to get here, and Villa will have to be wary that they do not suffer the same fate.
Obviously, a cup run would be nice, but it is not the priority for Villa this season.
Premier League survival is key, and anything after that is a bonus.
