Wycombe Wanderers will host Aston Villa in the third round of the League Cup.

The Chairboys will take on the Champions League side after they brilliantly defeated Swansea City of the Championship 1-0 in the second round at the Swansea University Stadium.

It will be the first meeting between the two teams since the 2015/16 FA Cup when Wanderers took Villa to a replay, following a 1-1 draw at Adams Park, only to lose 2-0 to Villa in the Midlands 10 days later.

The fixture will also be the first time since the 2005/06 season that the Chairboys will meet the Villains in this competition.

The previous encounter back in September 2005, saw the Premier League club defeat Wycombe 8-3 at Adams Park, despite being 3-1 down at half-time.

Prior to that, the first-ever match between the two was also in this competition two years prior in September 2003.

That too was also played at Adams Park, which saw Wycombe lose 5-0 with former England international Darius Vassell and the late Peter Whittingham getting on the scoresheet between a Juan Pablo Angel hat-trick.

The match will take place the week commencing September 23.
