Aston Villa vs Tottenham Team News 

New arrival Axel Disasi will have to wait a little longer to make his debut for Aston Villa as the Frenchman is cup-tied, meaning compatriot Boubacar Kamara starts at centre-back alongside Ezri Konsa.

Pau Torres, Ross Barkley, Tyrone Mings, Matty Cash and Ollie Watkins are all injured, so Donyell Malen makes his full debut here. Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio are options for Unai Emery off the bench. Lucas Digne and Andres Garcia are start at left and right-back, respectively.

Richarlison is once again injured for Tottenham having come off in the first half of Thursday's defeat to Liverpool with a suspected calf strain. The Brazilian is one of 11 confirmed absentees for Tottenham, though the likes of James Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Brennan Johnson are close to a return.

Micky van de Ven missed the EFL Cup mauling at Anfield and may not recover in time here, which means Kevin Danso keeps his and starts alongside Archie Gray this time. Mathys Tel is in line for his full debut, while Mikey Moore and Lucas Bergvall may both start. Dane Scarlett is cup-tied.

Aston Villa vs Tottenham Score Prediction 

Tottenham have a good record at Aston Villa but in turn; come into this one with confidence low following a demoralising 4-0 loss at Liverpool on Thursday. Villa are also unbeaten at home since October, a run they may continue with a 2-1 win to progress to the next round of the FA Cup and pile further pressure upon Ange Postecoglou.
