@Sage has just tweeted confirming that Aston Villa v Man City is the same midweek so yeah - Sadly wont be at Villa Park this one.
Brighton U21 hosted Newport at the Amex & Everton U21 hosted Fleetwood at Goodison in the second round of the 2019/20 version of the competition.
In 2018/19, Newcastle U21 hosted Macclesfield and Chelsea U21 hosted Wimbledon at the same knockout stage. Chelsea U21 also played Peterborough at Stamford Bridge in the third round.
In 2017/18, we played away at Swansea U21 in round 2 and Chelsea U21 hosted Oxford in the quarter final round.
In 2016/17, Wolves U21 hosted Sunderland in round 2, Southampton U21 vs Reading U21 was held at St Marys, Norwich U21 hosted Swansea U21 at Carrow Road and Swansea U21 hosted Coventry in round 3.

Pretty sure they changed the rules for the 20/21 tournament though.
It will take place on Saturday, December 4. It will be conducted following the conclusion of the Coventry City versus West Bromwich Albion Championship game.
That kicks off at 12.30pm so the draw is likely to get underway from 2.30pm onwards from the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Former Coventry striker Jay Bothroyd will be undertaking draw duties alongside ex-England man Kevin Phillips. Former Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton midfielder David Prutton will be on presenting duties.
If we make it through this next round and into the quarter-finals, we can draw any of the other seven teams (four north or three south) as the draw is no longer regionalised from the last eight onwards.
Let's have these u21 teams in the next 2 rounds. I don't want us to be a first in a final v an u21 side. It will happen eventually but please not to us.
Let's hope that we get Arsenal or Chelsea and lose. The sooner we get knocked out of this nonsense, the better. It's embarrassing.
Really can't understand the mentality of wanting to lose. These games are tremendous experience for likes of Burstow, Bakrin, Elerwere and Harkness. Also helps keep some of first team squad like Morgan, Kirk, Davison and Watson reasonably sharp.
Comments
Rules only state that U21 teams have to play away in the Group Stages
One thing is for sure, if we play our kids Villa will murder us.
Although even Aston Villa seem to think it'll be at the Valley as well
