# Villa fans are not in confident mood ahead of Carabao Cup final

Aston Villa will take on fellow Premier League side Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final this Sunday at Wembley Stadium.

City are the defending champions of the competition after [beating Chelsea on penalties last season.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47268861)

Villa are currently in a tense relegation fight and many of the club’s fans are predicting a heavy loss against Pep Guardiola’s side.

Dean Smith’s men overcame the odds to [beat Leicester City](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/aston-villa-vs-leicester-result-goals-trezeguet-carabao-cup-final-a9307116.html) in the semi-final thanks to a late goal from Trezeguet in the second leg at Villa Park.

As for City, they [narrowly made it through](https://www.mancity.com/news/first-team/match-report/2020/january/man-city-v-man-united-carabao-cup-semi-2nd-leg-match-report) to the final by beating arch-rivals Manchester United 3-2 on aggregate.

As reported on the [club’s official website](https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2020/02/18/final-tickets-sold-out), Villa have sold out their allocation of tickets for the final at Wembley, meaning 33,666 fans will be roaring Smith’s men on in London.

However, not all fans are confident of the victory and many [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1231881704379277312)feel that some records will be broken on Sunday for all the wrong reasons.
