Aston Villa vs Tottenham preview:
After overcoming West Ham 2-1 at Villa Park in the third round, Aston Villa have been rewarded with another clash against a Premier League team. Despite getting another tough draw, Unai Emery’s side will be confident of progressing as they take on a Tottenham team that has been savaged by injuries and has struggled for victories in recent months.
Villa have also been inconsistent this season and have especially struggled when playing straight after a Champions League game. This was evident last weekend as they lost 2-0 to Wolves. However, they have managed to freshen up the squad with a number of January signings and will be seeking to kick on during the business end of the season.
Tottenham made the fourth round after edging past non-league Tamworth in extra time and have since suffered league defeats to Arsenal, Everton and Leicester. They did earn an impressive 2-0 win at Brentford but their hopes of reaching the EFL Cup final were crushed at Anfield on Thursday night.
Failing to register a single shot on target against the Reds, Spurs will need to deliver a vastly improved performance if they hope to stay in the FA Cup.

Aston Villa vs Tottenham team news
Emery has problems in defence with Ezri Konsa the only senior centre-back available for selection due to injuries to Pau Torres and Tyrone Mings. New signing Axel Diasi is also cup-tied due to playing for Chelsea in the third round.
Matty Cash is also sidelined through injury, while there are doubts over the fitness of striker Ollie Watkins and midfielder Ross Barkley.
The one positive for Villa is that the rest of their January arrivals will be available. That means there could be a debut for on-loan Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford and former Real Madrid ace Marco Asensio. Donyell Malen and Andrés García could also feature.
Tottenham went into the Liverpool clash with 11 first-team players sidelined through injury and that only worsened when striker Richarlison went off with a calf problem. That could mean that Bayern Munich loanee Mathys Tel could be selected from the start after coming on at Anfield.
Centre-back Kevin Danso is also set to continue in the heart of defence as it is unlikely that Ange Postecoglou will risk bringing Micky van de Ven into the side as he continues to recover from a long-term injury.
