Watch Huddersfield Town vs Leeds United Live StreamingThe Foxes won the trophy in 1997 - helped by a young Emile Heskey - against Middlesbrough after a replay and in 2000 at Tranmere's expense as well as being runners-up in 1999 to Tottenham.
O'Neill knows how much belief that kind of success gave to the Leicester players and knows it would be a similar scenario at Villa circa 2010.
He said: "As a player (at Nottingham Forest) and manager, I've managed to win this competition. At Leicester when we won the first trophy, it really was great.
"We needed a replay at Hillsborough to beat Middlesbrough after Emile (Heskey) scored a late goal in the first game at Wembley.
"It was a great feeling for everyone at the club, not just the manager. The players were particularly excited by it and, obviously the fans. It is great to win something.
"You ask the old Leicester players, and it does wonders for your confidence and your whole morale.
