Neal Maupay will take on Aston Villa today, but this time online.

Albion have been handed a trip to Aston Villa in the first round, with the action getting underway today midday on the Sky Sports YouTube channel.

Neal Maupay will represent the Seagulls in the 20-team tournament. 

The French forward will get to show his skills against the rest of the Premier League, with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Todd Cantwell (Norwich City), Ryan Fredericks (West Ham United), Diogo Jota (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City) and Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace) also taking part.  

Key players…

Albion’s Neal Maupay will be looking for goals in this game. The striker has bagged eight in the Premier League so far in his first season in the top flight.

It will be a different test for the Frenchman this time around, but he’ll still be looking to find the back of the net when he gets chance. 

John McGinn has found the net ten times for club and country so far this term and will provide tough opposition for Albion’s forward.  

How to watch…

The game will be streamed live on the Sky Sports YouTube channel – fans will be able to follow the action both there and on our social media channels.
