Seven-time winners of the FA Cup, Aston Villa reached the fourth round courtesy of a comeback victory over West Ham. Seeking to reach the final for the first time since 2015, Unai Emery’s side have shown their quality on numerous occasions this season, especially with a string of impressive wins in the Champions League. However, they have been a touch inconsistent and enter this match on the back of a disappointing 2-0 loss against struggling Wolves.
Tottenham have won this competition on eight occasions and manager Ange Postecoglou would love to make it nine as he looks to add to his record of landing a trophy in his second season at a club. It won’t be easy though as Spurs have a dozen first-team players out injured and have struggled for wins in recent months. Having been thrashed 4-0 by Liverpool and eliminated from the Carabao Cup on Thursday, they’ll be desperate to avoid an early exit from the FA Cup.
Spurs have won nine of their last 10 away games against Villa so history is on their side. You won't want to miss this one so read on as we explain all the ways to get an Aston Villa vs Tottenham live stream wherever you are.
