Time for some pre-match stats from Opta:
  • These two sides last met in the FA Cup in 1992 when Aston Villa progressed to the fourth round after winning 1-0 in a third round replay at White Hart Lane.
  • Aston Villa have progressed to the fourth round in seven of the last eight seasons, losing out to Sheffield United in 2014 after a 2-1 loss at Villa Park.
  • Spurs have lost just one of their last 16 encounters in all competitions against the Villains (W12 D3), winning eight of the last nine.

Janssen, by the way, is still without a goal from open play for Spurs after his summer move to White Hart Lane.

As expected it is a much-changed Tottenham team from Mauricio Pochettino as he makes nine changes from the side which ended Chelsea's winning streak in the Premier League. Vincent Janssen leads the line in attack with youngsters Harry Winks and Cameron Carter-Vickers given chances to impress.
