# Wolves: Fans call for much-changed starting line-up for Carabao Cup trip to Aston Villa

**Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo appears set to ring the changes for tonight’s Carabao Cup clash away to Aston Villa.**

Tim Spiers, who [covers the club for The Athletic](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers), tweeted via [@TimSpiers](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers/status/1189128987043348480) that a much-changed line-up is expected, with youngsters such as Taylor Perry and Benny Ashley-Seal mooted for starting berths, adding that the Carabao Cup is not a priority for the Wolves boss.

> Told it's set to be a much-changed team at Villa Park tomorrow night, Taylor Perry and Benny Ashley-Seal among the youngsters who could start.
>
> Arsenal away on Saturday and the Carabao is 4th on the priority list. Interested to see how Villa approach it [#wwfc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/wwfc?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

Nuno made [10 changes to his starting line-up](https://www.skysports.com/football/wolves-vs-reading/420338) for Wolves’ previous game in the competition against Reading last month and, with the trip to Villa Park the [third of four matches in a 10-day period](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wolverhampton-wanderers/spielplandatum/verein/543), the manager could well decide to rest many of his regular starters.

Wolves have already played 20 matches in all competitions in 2019/20, having come through six qualifying games to reach the Europa League group stage, and tonight will be their 11th midweek match of the season so far. \[[via TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wolverhampton-wanderers/spielplandatum/verein/543)\]

The squad has been impacted with injuries recently, with Ryan Bennett and Willy Boly [both missing last Sunday’s trip to Newcastle](https://www.skysports.com/football/newcastle-vs-wolves/408076) and the latter set to be ruled out for a while after breaking his ankle at the weekend, as per the [Express & Star](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2019/10/29/willy-bolys-broken-ankle-has-also-highlighted-how-few-major-injuries-have-been-suffered-at-wolves/).

With a Premier League trip to Arsenal coming up on Saturday, these Wolves fans on Twitter have called for a much-changed line-up for tonight’s Carabao Cup clash at Aston Villa:

> I would change whole team we’ve played so many games already concentrate on league and Europe

> I would play an entire under 23 team in all honesty. The League Cup is not a priority. Bear in mind the number of games we have played already. The league game at Molineux is far more important.

> Why are so many moaning? Our U23s should be good enough to step in! The League and Europa is our priority so I don’t see the problem. Fed up of seeing our players look tired, let them have a rest.
