Preview: Aston Villa Vs Tottenham

The Villans are all set to battle the Spurs in the FA Cup.

Aston Villa will lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur in their upcoming FA Cup 2024-25 4th-round match. The Villans defeated West Ham in their previous cup encounter. It was a close game, but Aston Villa scored a couple of goals in the second half to win the clash. Tottenham on the other hand secured an easy win over Tamworth in their third round match.

Aston Villa are in decent form and have added a couple of important players to the squad. With Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio joining in, they will be looking to step up their game. They will have an equally matched side to play against when they go up against Spurs in their upcoming fixture.

Tottenham Hotspur were knocked out of the Carabao Cup after Liverpool dominated them in the second leg. Spurs will be low on confidence as their poor run of form continues. Aston Villa are going to be a tough challenge for Ange Postecoglou’s men. But it will be interesting to see which team will outplay the other.

About FA Cup:

History

The Football Association Challenge Cup, more commonly known as the FA Cup, is an annual knockout football competition in domestic English football. First played during the 1871–72 season, it is the oldest national football competition in the world.[1] It is organised by and named after The Football Association (The FA). A concurrent Women's FA Cup has been held since 1970.

The competition is open to all eligible clubs down to level 9 of the English football league system, with level 10 clubs acting as stand-ins in the event of non-entries from above.[2] A record 763 clubs competed in 2011–12. The tournament consists of 12 randomly drawn rounds followed by the semi-finals and the final. Entrants are not seeded, although a system of byes based on league level ensures higher ranked teams enter in later rounds – the minimum number of games needed to win, depending on which round a team enters the competition, ranges from six to fourteen.

The first six rounds are the Qualifying Competition, and are contested by clubs in the National League System, levels 5 to 10 of the English football system, more commonly called non-League. 32 of these teams progress to the first round of the Competition Proper, meeting the first of the 48 professional teams from Leagues One and Two. The last entrants are the 20 Premier League and 24 Championship clubs, into the draw for the third round proper.[2] In the modern era, only one non-League team has ever reached the quarter-finals, and teams below Level 2 have never reached the final.[note 1] As a result, significant focus is given to the smaller teams who progress furthest, especially if they achieve an unlikely "giant-killing" victory.

Winners receive the FA Cup trophy, of which there have been two designs and five actual cups; the latest is a 2014 replica of the second design, introduced in 1911. Winners also qualify for the UEFA Europa League and a place in the upcoming FA Community Shield. Arsenal are the most successful club with fourteen titles, most recently in 2020, and their former manager Arsène Wenger is the competition's most successful, having won seven finals with the team. Manchester United are the current holders, having defeated local rivals Manchester City 2–1 in the 2024 final.
