What happened. Taylor Harwood-Bellis is expected to make his Aston Villa debut against Coventry in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. The £30m defender has yet to feature since joining from Southampton and was left out of Villa's Champions League squad.

• Unai Emery said of Harwood-Bellis: "His time is coming."
• He was signed to replace Ezri Konsa after Konsa's £51m move to Arsenal.
• Villa need defensive stability after conceding 22 shots in the 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest.

“His time is coming”

— Unai Emery

With Pau Torres and Ian Maatsen injured, Harwood-Bellis has a chance to stake a claim in Villa's defence.
