Tottenham Hotspur host Aston Villa in an all-Premier League FA Cup tie, with Thomas Frank’s side in desperate need of a result to restore morale at the club.

The Dane’s side suffered a 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth last time out and have only won one of their last six games.

Villa, meanwhile, are flying under Unai Emery, having won 12 of their last 14 games and sitting third in the Premier League table.

In a further blow to the hosts, Villa have also won three times on the spin against Tottenham, so will be confident of progressing to the fourth round.

Team news

There’s no Mohammed Kudus, Cristian Romero, Rodrigo Bentancur or Lucas Bergvall for Tottenham but Thomas Frank has at least been boosted by the return of Dominic Solanke, back in a Spurs squad for the first time since August. Frank has gone as strong as he could, given the absences.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez does not make the squad due to injury, with Marco Bizot stepping in. Ollie Watkins and Youri Tielemans are rested but the likes of Morgan Rogers and Ezri Konsa start. Emi Buendia and Lamare Bogarde come in.
