The match takes place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on a chilly, dry night with the floodlights off and a pre-game lightshow underway. Tottenham named five changes after a 3-2 loss to Bournemouth, while Aston Villa made six changes following a 0-0 draw at Palace. Both squads are described as strong, with full lineups and substitutes listed for each club. The week has been emotional for Spurs following the death of Martin Chivers. The day featured Macclesfield's historic FA Cup victory, and Villa's form points to an almost certain return to the Champions League.
