Two Premier League heavyweights, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, go head-to-head in a crucial FA Cup fourth-round fixture on Sunday.
Unai Emery’s Villa will aim to continue their strong home form, while Spurs, reeling from a midweek EFL Cup exit, must bounce back quickly.
Tottenham, fresh from a crushing 4-0 loss to Liverpool, are in desperate need of a morale-boosting win. Meanwhile, Villa, still smarting from a 2-0 defeat to Wolves, will hope to leverage their formidable Villa Park record to advance in the competition.
🔵Villa Look to Extend Home Dominance | Home Win = 1.73💵
Aston Villa have been solid at home, unbeaten in their last ten matches at Villa Park. Despite their recent league loss, they remain a force under Emery, with a well-drilled attack and midfield depth.
With their Champions League aspirations still in play, the FA Cup represents another avenue for silverware. The Lions will be keen to capitalize on a depleted Spurs side as they aim for a deep cup run.

Tottenham’s season is teetering on the edge following their EFL Cup humiliation. Ange Postecoglou’s men must respond quickly, but with a lengthy injury list, they face an uphill battle.
Spurs’ recent FA Cup form has been inconsistent, needing extra time to get past non-league Tamworth in the last round. Their struggles on the road, coupled with missing key players, make this a difficult test.
