- On Wednesday, Coventry City hosts Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup third round, marking the first meeting between the sides since 2001 when Villa relegated the Sky Blues from the top flight.

- Lampard hinted at lineup changes for the fixture, addressing common criticism by asking, "Why did the manager do this with cup games?" while emphasizing balance between competitiveness and player opportunities.
- The manager noted this derby is a game the Coventry fans hold dear, given the rarity of such meetings, though it falls outside the Premier League competition format.
