Team News:

• Ollie Watkins, Matty Cash, Pau Torres, Ross Barkley, Tyrone Mings, and Kortney Hause will not be in action for the Villans.
• Tottenham Hotspur will be without the services of nine of their players due to their injuries. Timo Werner and Dominic Solanke are included in the list of injured players who will not be in action.

Player(s) to watch:

• Marcus Rashford is on loan to Aston Villa from Manchester United, and he is going to play a key role for the Villans when they face Spurs next in the FA Cup. In the absence of Ollie Watkins, Rashford might lead the attack from the front. It will not be his usual position but can still lay a good amount of impact for his side.
• Son Heung-min is having a dry run. Son Heung-min stays important for the Spurs in their attacking front. Attacking from the left, Son helps his team in creating chances. He is also good at scoring goals but at the moment he is not so much in the form. The South Korea national football team player will have to step up for Tottenham so that they will have a chance to get to the next round of the cup competition.
