Unai Emery's team, Aston Villa, travels to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for an FA Cup third-round clash on Saturday, which will kick off at 5:45 PM GMT. The visitors sit near the top of the Premier League, after an excellent recent form with strong wins, which include victories over Man United and Chelsea, which are among the most successful clubs in EPL history.

They see the cup as a prime chance to chase silverware this season and will use the clash against Tottenham to get back to winning ways after losing crucial 3 points to Arsenal in a 4-1 defeat.

Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, is going through a tough spell and struggling for consistency with poor results and an injury crisis keeping important players away from the field. This Premier League team's tie offers Spurs a shot at redemption, and they will try to get back to the form they had at the start of the 2025/26 campaign under manager Thomas Frank.

The teams met earlier this season in the league, where Villa staged a comeback victory. Additionally, the recent Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur head to head record depicts the rise of the Villans while Spurs have remained vulnerable.
