Watch Oldham Athletic vs Norwich City Live StreamingMartin O'Neill admits Aston Villa winning their first trophy for 14 years would "do wonders" for the confidence of his young and fast-developing squad.
Villa's last trophy success was in the 1996 League Cup final against Leeds and now they will face Manchester United in the same competition at Wembley on February 28.
O'Neill has a love affair with the competition as a manager from his time at Leicester.
The 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.
