Tottenham has won the last two editions of this fixture, while the Villans have three victories in five outings.
Aston Villa has struggled to balance Premier League and Champions League commitments, making the FA Cup a potential respite. They edged West Ham 2-1 in the previous tournament round to set a date with Spurs. Aston Villa recently booked their UCL automatic qualification with a 4-2 triumph over Celtic. Unfortunately, three days later, they fell 2-0 to Wolves in the league.
However, Unai Emery has turned Villa Park into a fortress. The team is unbeaten in its last nine home games across all competitions. With strong home form, Villa will aim to make its FA Cup run count as it faces another tough Premier League opponent, Tottenham.
Villa strengthened their squad in January with Malen, Rashford, and Asensio, while Duran departed. However, Torres, Cash, Mings, Barkley, and Hause remain sidelined due to injuries.
Tottenham have struggled in the Premier League this season, but they’ve shown signs of resurgence recently. Injuries have disrupted their progress, but cup competitions have been their stronghold. Spurs are currently 14th in the league. As a result, their Premier League best odds do not place them among teams contending for a top-four finish this season.
However, Ange Postecoglou’s side has qualified for the next round of the Europa League after finishing 4th with 17 points. Spurs overcame non-league Tamworth 3-0 in the previous round after extra time.
Radu Dragusin’s torn ACL sidelines him for the season, adding to Tottenham’s defensive woes. He will join Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie on the sidelines. James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, and Dominic Solanke are also unavailable.
