Bradford City boss Phil Parkinson tells his players to target Aston Villa's defensive frailties ahead of their League Cup semi-final on Tuesday.

Bradford City boss Phil Parkinson has called on his players to take advantage of Aston Villa's recent slump in the Premier League.

Bradford host Villa in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final tie on Tuesday, having eliminated Arsenal on penalties in the previous round.

"We have to take advantage of the fact they've conceded a lot of goals. It doesn't matter what level you play at, if you concede that number of goals then there is a vulnerability there, confidence-wise," Parkinson told BBC Sport.

The last match between the two sides ended in a 3-1 win for Aston Villa in 2001.
