Overview
- Kick-off is 17:45 GMT at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with live coverage in the UK on BBC One and TNT Sports and streaming in the U.S. on ESPN+.
- Tottenham are depleted, with Mohammed Kudus ruled out until after the March international break and Rodrigo Bentancur sidelined by a hamstring injury.
- Aston Villa travel without Amadou Onana and have uncertainty around goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, with Marco Bizot expected to start.
- Recent meetings favor Villa, who won at Spurs in October and eliminated them from last season’s FA Cup, with Spurs losing two of their last three FA Cup ties against Villa.
- This season’s FA Cup has no replays, so the tie will be decided today, and most previews and betting markets lean toward Villa progressing.
