Unai Emery's side beat West Ham 2-1 at home in the third round last month, while Spurs avoided a shock against Tamworth by winning in extra time at The Lamb Ground. Villa are targeting progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2014-15, when they eventually reached the final before losing 4-0 to Arsenal.

Liverpool were patient and practical for as long as they had to be, before tearing Spurs apart in the second half of the League Cup semifinal second leg.
