James Milner eyes Doncaster Rovers revenge

“We never really seemed to show up on the night. It’s just one of those things.

“That’s cup competitions for you – you are always going to get upsets. We need to make sure there isn’t an upset there tomorrow and put in another professional display.”

As well as restoring Villa’s pride against Doncaster, proud Yorkshireman Milner is also out for revenge on behalf of his beloved boyhood team Leeds.

He was a disappointed spectator in the stands at Wembley last summer when Rovers’ play-off final win denied Leeds promotion to the Championship.

“They’ve probably got it in for Leeds more,” he added.

“I went to Wembley in the summer when Leeds unfortunately lost to them, but it’s one of those things. Hopefully Leeds can bounce back.”
