Aston Villa at Tottenham Match Preview
Tottenham will want to avoid crashing two cups in the four -day space while facing Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Spurs had a 1-0 advantage over Liverpool since the first stage of their Capabao Cup semifinal, but they were crushed 4-0 in Anfield on Thursday and seeing another opportunity to pass a trophy in Villa Park would accumulate the pressure on Ange Postecoglou even further.
Posttecoglou said after Thursday’s defeat: “I have the battery at this time. It is really easy for people to put their boots and question players, but I don’t question.
“We disappointed last night that did not come out in the way we wanted and did not act at the levels, but that does not define this group of players in my eyes.”
“We are an easy brand at this time. Obviously, making a semifinal is an absolute disaster because we don’t play well. I guess not doing a semifinal would have put us in a better place.
“I believe a lot in these players, what are happening and how they are dealing with him.”

Villa is licking his wounds of a disappointing defeat against the wolf rivals last time, but they have had a full week to recover and will hope that their progress of new signings will give them an impulse against the Londoners of the North.
Marcus Rashford was the firm of January after joining Manchester United, with Unai Emery also reinforcing his team with Marco Asensio, Donyell Malen, Axel Disasi and Andres García.
The Spurs have won their last two games against Villa by an added margin of 8-1, including a 4-1 victory over Emery’s team in November. Since then, however, they have won only three times in the League.

Villa V Spurs prediction
The Spurs have won in nine of their last 10 trips to Villa, but they are unlikely to count a lot when postecoglou men come to trust and numbers.
The villas are not exactly in the full form, but they are undefeated in 11 consecutive house games in all competitions. The additional break should see Villa obtain the victory, which the Europa League would leave as the last opportunity of the Spurs for a trophy.
Aston Villa 2-1 Tottenham
