Last updated : 12 March 2009 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry City U18's will look for revenge when they take on Aston Villa on Saturday.

Greg Rioch's side were beaten 5-0 at Villa earlier in the season and the City Academy boss will be looking for a victory that gives his side a chance of the making the Academy League Play-Offs.

He'll field a young side due to some of his more senior players, who are being released, having trials at other clubs.

Coventry are fourth in the Academy League Group B table after their match at Watford last week was postponed due to the Hornet's FA Youth Cup involvement. Aston Villa, lie second in the table with 43 points two behind leaders Spurs, and beat Cardiff City 3-2 last weekend.

Other matches in City's division see Cardiff play Reading and Tottenham v Leicester with the games at Birmingham and MK Dons postponed.

Kick off at the Alan Higgs Centre is at 11am and the appointed referee is A.Howitt.
