"With all eyes falling on north London this weekend, Tottenham and Aston Villa will look to extend on their respective FA Cup adventures when they meet on Saturday evening. While Villa might have eventually been forced to settle for a single point when they travelled to the capital in midweek, Unai Emery's men are enjoying what has become an historic fairytale and they will be confident of making an FA Cup statement here."
"While some in Aston Villa's camp might have been frustrated earlier in the week as they had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate away at Crystal Palace, Emery's men should be relishing an immediate return to the capital. Although Saturday's guests might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of a minor wobble, the former PSG boss has seen his record-breaking squad come roaring back in some style."
Tottenham and Aston Villa meet in the FA Cup with Villa enjoying an impressive run and Tottenham under growing pressure. Villa drew 0-0 at Crystal Palace but remain on an historic run under Unai Emery and appear confident ahead of the trip to north London. Villa began the New Year with a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest and sit third in the league, having lost only once in 14 matches across all competitions. Villa beat Tottenham 2-1 at Spurs on October 19 and are considered favorites to advance, with a suggested bet of Aston Villa to qualify at 19/20. Tottenham suffered late heartbreak earlier in the week and face intense scrutiny around Thomas Frank's position.
