Aston Villa welcome Tottenham to Villa Park for Sunday night’s FA Cup clash under the lights.
Spurs crashed out of the Carabao Cup in midweek and are at risk of being eliminated from another cup competition three days later.
Villa have had a whole week to prepare for this game, with fans eagerly anticipating their first glimpse of Marcus Rashford in a claret shirt.
Meanwhile, Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso will be looking to have more of an influence on the game, as they struggled to do much against Liverpool on Thursday.
Read on to see how both teams line-up.
