Tottenham take on Aston Villa as the two English Premier League sides begin their FA Cup campaign.
Tottenham return home to North London off the back of a stoppage-time defeat away to Bournemouth in their latest Premier League match.
It was the latest of three matches without a win following consecutive draws away to Brentford and at home to Sunderland, which came after a win away to Crystal Palace, their only victory from their last five games.
Manager Thomas Frank remains under pressure, but a win over Aston Villa would see his side progress in their search to win a first domestic trophy in almost 20 years.
Aston Villa saw their flawless run of 11 consecutive wins ended by Arsenal three games ago, though they have since gone two matches without a loss.
A resounding 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest got Unai Emery’s side back on track, before a 0-0 draw away to Crystal Palace left them third in the Premier League table, eight points clear of Liverpool.
