17'
Davies in behind the Villa defence but the flag goes up. Yup, certainly a couple of yards off.
16'
A very quiet opening here. Another poor Spurs ball gives Villa a goal kick. A bit flat after that big win against Chelsea, which can happen.
15'
A fair point, well made. Spurs did conquer Europe. Never the big one, though.

Grealish takes it away from Son and is then caught from behind. He’s a key man for Villa today.
12'
Aston Villa's solitary victory in the last 16 encounters came in the Premier League at White Hart Lane in April 2015, when Christian Benteke scored the only goal.
10'
Mike Dean has been a controversial referee of late. Nothing to report so far...
9'
Janssen needs a goal to boost his confidence. Has scored three penalties but nothing from open play.

8'
Spurs fans will be happy to see Alderweireld back. Such an accomplished and assured player on the ball. Dangerous ball from Trippier just too high for Janssen.
7'
6'
Villa fans taunting Spurs that they will never be able to sing about being champions of Europe!
5'
Now Villa with a decent little spell. Bacuna’s ball too deep for Agbonlahor and it’s out for a Spurs goal kick.
4'
Almost exclusive possession for Spurs this afternoon. Looks like it could be a lonely evening for Agbonlahor as Sissoko makes a superb run before being stopped by Baker.
3'
Trippier could be a dangerous player today. Had an outstanding match against Watford and possesses a very good cross.
2'
Spurs setting up 3-4-3, Villa likewise. Villa fielding seven FA Cup final veterans but none in the Spurs side this afternoon.
1st Half
1'
KICK-OFF! Referee Mike Dean blows the whistle to get us underway here. Tall order for Villa this afternoon, you would think. Spurs full of confidence. Spurs have won eight of the last nine meetings in all competitions, scoring 22 goals and only conceding three. But this is the FA Cup! We shall see…
15.55
FIVE MINUTES TO KICK-OFF! The teams are in the tunnel and making their way out onto the pitch.
