Tottenham vs Aston Villa FA Cup preview, team news and predicted line-up

Tottenham Hotspur host Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup, well aware that this competition represents their only realistic shot at silverware this season.

Looking at the way things are currently going for Tottenham Hotspur, two wins in their previous 12 league games suggests Thomas Frank is not enjoying many peaceful nights at the moment, with pressure on his job continuing to ramp up.

Although winless since the new year, it would be wrong to say this Spurs side are producing completely lifeless performances.
