Aston Villa have won all three games in their group so far to sit top of the pile and will be aiming to maintain their perfect record against Sunderland. Lehmann's side will be favourites for victory against Championship opposition, although the Black Cats are also unbeaten in the group so far and can qualify automatically for the quarter-finals with a win. Villa need to just avoid defeat during the 90 minutes to progress to the next round.
