Tottenham vs Aston Villa team news

Mohamed Kudus is set for an extended spell on the sidelines after picking up an injury against Sunderland, and Lucas Bergvall is expected to join him on the sidelines after coming off against Bournemouth.

Mathys Tel deserves to keep his spot on the left-hand side of the attack, but Randal Kolo Muani did little to suggest in the 3-2 loss that Richarlison should stay on the bench. Archie Gray will be pushing to return, potentially in place of the ever-underwhelming Rodrigo Bentancur. Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin could get a start in central defence.

Aston Villa remain without the influential Amadou Onana, who has a hamstring injury, but the form of Boubacar Kamara and Youri Tielemans means little has lost from midfield. There are concerns over Emi Martinez after the goalkeeper withdrew at half-time of Wednesday's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace, but Marco Bizot was expected to start in any case.

Ian Maatsen will hope to start, along with Donyell Malen and Emi Buendia, with all three coming off the bench in midweek. Tyrone Mings (hamstring) is edging towards a return, but is not expected to start in north London. Evann Guessand remains absent due to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa prediction

Until recently, Aston Villa had a poor record in the FA Cup. A run of seven consecutive third-round exits ended in 2024 with a fourth-round exit, before last season’s run to the semi-finals. It remains to be seen how seriously Unai Emery takes the competition, given their superior chances of winning the Europa League and a push to finish in the Premier League top five.

But, no matter the team selection, Villa will be confident of getting a result against a team they have often got the better of recently. Spurs are in disarray, and another defeat at home will surely spell the end of Thomas Frank’s time in charge. Morale is through the floor and there is little confidence of the head coach being able to corral his troops to see off an impressive side.

Aston Villa to win, 2-0.
