All kick-off times 15:00 GMT unless stated
The Carabao Cup semi-final defeat means the pressure going into this tie is heightened for Tottenham.
The way Spurs beat Brentford was more 'Ange-wall' than 'Ange-ball' but it worked, and they might need more of the same to get through here.
It will help Aston Villa that they don't have a midweek game before this tie and, as well as the result against Liverpool, one of the things that will affect Tottenham is fatigue and how many players they have got fit.
When these two teams met in November, Spurs won 4-1, but it was a strange game and it could actually have gone either way. The same applies here.
Like Tottenham, Villa also have a problem keeping clean sheets - they have managed only one in their past 13 games - so I think there will be goals in this tie.
It will be interesting to see if Villa's new loan signing, Marcus Rashford, gets one of them.
Bringing Rashford in is a gamble, but I know myself from my career how a change of scenery can reinvigorate a player.
This is essentially a trial for him - if he does well, they will sign him. If not, he will be going back to Manchester United.
Sutton's prediction: 2-2 after extra time, Villa to win 12-11 on penalties

The fixture, which finished 3-3 last season, will kick off at 19:30 GMT.
Earlier this season, when the two sides met, Liverpool beat Villa 2-0 at Anfield.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been speaking to the media before Sunday's FA Cup game against Tottenham Hotspur (kick-off 17:35 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Emery confirmed that Ollie Watkins, Pau Torres, Ross Barkley, Matty Cash and Tyrone Mings would all miss out through injury on Sunday.
On how long Watkins will be out, he said: "Each day, it is important how he is feeling - but for Sunday he is not going to be available. Tomorrow he is not going to train again. Hopefully for the next week he will be available."
January signings Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia will be left out of the Champions League squad. Under Uefa rules, clubs playing in Europe can only register a maximum three new players into their knockout stage squad from their league phase roster. Emery said: "It was not a good decision I had to take but I spoke with Andres and Donyell to tell them the decision."
On Marcus Rashford: "I only want the best football from him. I think he has huge potential to exploit. I don't want to know the reason he is leaving Manchester but I am very happy keeping him here and I am very happy to help him recover his performances. My challenge with him is a huge challenge. His challenge with us is exciting."
He dismissed a follow-up question asking about a potential permanent move for Rashford, stating: "We will enjoy each step forward and then the future is only building with the present. If we are trying to get the future before we build the present it's impossible."

Here are some of your comments:
Dave: Two things in football it is said that shouldn't happen during a game. Players being caught offside when they can see across the back line. The other is a GK being beaten at the near post. Why then does Emi Martinez, arguably the best in the world and loved at the Villa, get beaten so often there?
Rob: Since Leon Bailey said he wanted a move to a London club in March last year, he's only scored three goals in the league - two of which were last season. His form's really gone downhill and he's been lucky to have started some games this season, so once Ascensio's loan spell ends I think Unai needs to look at getting a new right winger in the summer.
Robbie: We have the second best number six in the league in Boubacar Kamara - people do not understand how vital Bouba is to the way we play and how much he wins that ball.
Nick: Goalkeeping cover. Whenever there is an injury to Martinez we turn to Robin Olsen, who is not a Premier League level goalkeeper.
Taylor: Villa are a good team, but we are also a lucky team. Our finishing position last season owed more to the failures of other teams and nothing to our performances in the last few matches. We are also lucky to be top eight. What is usually not stated is that Emery is fallible: too often our team looks tired, losing 50:50s, giving the ball away, losing goals to the first and last attacks of the other side. Avoidable stuff. He is, of course, the best manager we have had for ages, and we are fortunate to have him. But the team on the field too often look as if they are not as well coached or trained as they could be.
Mike: Chelsea and City were built overnight without financial restriction, and the top teams (from a financial perspective) as a whole find themselves in their fortuitous positions as a direct result of being able to spend freely. Villa and Newcastle have more than enough financial clout to do the aforementioned, but have been heavily restricted to the point where we never had, and still don't have, a fair crack of the whip!
It was a busy finish to the transfer window at Aston Villa, with a lot of incomings.
You know your club best, so we want to know the one thing - good or bad - nobody is talking about but really should be.
Marcus Rashford could lose as much as 100% of the sponsorship money he receives from Nike because the sportswear giant considers Aston Villa a lower category of club than Manchester United. Nike could also ask him to partially pay back signing-on fees. (Mail Plus - subscription required), external

Image source, Getty ImagesAston Villa's January window, despite its frantic deadline-day finish, can ultimately be classed as a smart and calculated exercise in squad management.
The club needed to address key weaknesses and potentially up the level of the team without committing to long-term financial burdens, given the uncertainty of Champions League qualification next season.
On paper, at least, the club has exceeded expectations in nailing this equation.
Going into January, Villa's squad had clear deficiencies in depth - needing a right-back and a centre-back. Despite having to go down their list of preferable targets, they managed to fill both positions with the arrivals of Andres Garcia and Axel Disasi.
The outgoing Jhon Duran, Villa's top scorer with 12 goals, opened up the opportunity for an attacking rethink. Since Duran has proven the ace up Villa's sleeve in the Champions League, in an ideal world he would have left in the summer, but his departure necessitated immediate reinforcements to give Villa a chance in Europe.
Donyell Malen's arrival from Borussia Dortmund had been a welcome upgrade on Jaden Philogene, but Villa needed a lot more to make a dent in the Champions League business end.
The departure of Emi Buendia certainly paved the way for Unai Emery to make a serious move for triple Champions League winner Marco Asensio, a player he has long admired and who could prove integral in implementing the manager's desired playing style.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford will hopefully replace Duran's goals while offering versatility in various attacking set-ups, potentially giving Emery greater flexibility.
Both Rashford and Asensio also bring more of an elite winning mentality, a quality at times this season that Emery has frustratingly felt his team lacked.
However, the final verdict on the window will be seen on the pitch.
Rashford, Asensio and Disasi had all been frozen out of their respective teams, leading to questions over their match sharpness and present temperament.
If they quickly regain their best form, then Emery could potentially transform Villa into a real force in the final months of the season.
There is certainly plenty of upside to a multiple loan gamble that will not impact harshly on Villa's long-term finances.

Image source, Getty ImagesUnai Emery has continued his outstanding work at Aston Villa by automatically taking them into the Champions League last 16. European competition has left the occasional hangover for Premier League form, but they are still right in contention for the top four.
Emery's fierce ambition was clear in his demands for reinforcements, especially after the £65m departure of maverick striker Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
Arsenal's advances for England striker Watkins were rebuffed, leaving Villa to back Emery's ambition with key signings as the transfer window closed.
Emery's track record of revitalising players will have Villa hoping he can get Marcus Rashford's career back on track following his loan move from Manchester United, while Marco Asensio, a three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, will add experience and street wisdom.
Axel Disasi, another loan signing from Chelsea, would fulfil the need to strengthen in central defence while Donyell Malan's arrival from Borussia Dortmund will add width and attacking quality.
Image source, Getty ImagesBBC chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions on all things Premier League.
Matt from Birmingham asked: How do you feel about Rashford's loan to Villa? Good opportunity to rediscover his form? Or a mistake for Villa to cover most of his wages, considering how poor he has been for the last year?
Phil answered: I actually think is a gamble worth taking by Aston Villa and a great opportunity for Marcus Rashford at an ambitious club with a real desire to pursue big prizes under an outstanding manager in Unai Emery.
It is an expensive short-term commitment by Villa, but they will have weighed up the financial aspects and if it works out it will be money well spent.
Rashford's career has, unfortunately, lost its way at Manchester United, head coach Ruben Amorim making that crystal clear in a series of brutal reflections on the player.
What we do know is that Rashford has great talent, can score and make goals – and will now be working under a manager with a proven track record of improving players in Emery.
It is up to Rashford to make it work. You can be sure he will get all the help and support (and maybe even some tough love when needed) from Emery.
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton says Aston Villa have taken "a risk" signing Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United, adding he believes the 27-year-old has "a lot to prove" at Villa Park.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, Sutton said: "We will find out, won't we? I think Marcus has a lot to prove, and I wouldn't normally say that about a player like him. It is a risk from Aston Villa.
"Unai Emery feels he can get Marcus fully focused again and, if that happens, there is no doubting the ability he has.
"Marcus Rashford is on trial because there is the option for him to move permanently in the summer."
The Athletic's chief soccer correspondent Rory Smith added: "It is about Rashford finding an environment where he can thrive again. The allegation from Ruben Amorim was that he is not trying in training, but we don't know exactly what that means.
"There are suggestions his personal life has become a bit of an obstacle for him to overcome. But because that is all whisper and gossip, we don't fully know.
"Either way, it was clear it wasn't changing at Manchester United, so maybe you need to just go somewhere else."

Aston Villa have completed the loan signing of Chelsea defender Axel Disasi until the end of the season.
He follows the arrivals of Marcus Rashford, Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia at Villa Park during the winter transfer window.
They will pay a £5m fee to loan Disasi but again there is no purchase option.
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on Marco Asensio signing for Aston Villa.
Here are some of your comments:
Michael: I'm excited by this one. It's better for us than Joao Felix in my opinion. Let's hope he (and Rashford) can give Rogers a rest and some decent competition to Bailey who has been supremely disappointing this season.
Stephen: Not quite made it at PSG so who's saying he can do it for Villa? He's 29 so he could be slowing down and may struggle with the pace of the league. Let's just hope he can get his form back quickly.
Andrew: Asensio will be an instant hit , no question - quality player.
Elliot: Potential great signing - he hasn't got the numbers to suggest he's prolific but his pedigree and history with top clubs is something very exciting. Our attacking options are something to look forward to seeing over the next few weeks.
Conor: A lot of focus in midfield and up front. What's clear so far this season is our woeful record in defence, and I'm unsure the signings in this window will help bolster the back row.
Jonathan: This won't be a very popular opinion, but I think that Villa are going to win the Champions League with this attack. At the end of the day, who cares about bad defence? A world class signing for Villa.

Image source, Getty ImagesAston Villa have agreed a £5m fee to sign defender Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea.
The 26-year-old briefly looked bound for Tottenham but he is understood to have preferred a move to the Midlands club.
There has been no option to buy included in the deal so any fee to make the move permanent in the summer will have to be negotiated at a later date.
It leaves the north Londoners looking for alternative defensive options before the transfer deadline.
Aston Villa have confirmed the loan signing of midfielder Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain.
The 29-year-old will join Villa until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
Asensio has scored seven goals in 47 appearances for PSG since joining from Real Madrid in the summer of 2023, helping the club win the French title in 2024.
He has also had spells at Mallorca and Espanyol, as well as earning 38 caps for Spain.
What do you think of the deal, Villa fans? Let us know
MK Dons have signed Aston Villa wing-back Travis Patterson on loan for the remainder of the season.
Patterson made a brief substitute appearance for Villa's Under-21 side in an EFL Trophy game against Burton Albion in October 2021 when he was one day short of his 16th birthday.
He signed a long-term contract last summer and made his first-team debut, again as a late substitute, in a 2-1 win at Wycombe Wanderers in the Carabao Cup in September.
