Tottenham will look to overcome recent challenges today as they host a buoyant Aston Villa in a FA Cup third-round match.
A damaging, 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth on Wednesday has increased pressure on Spurs’ Danish manager Thomas Frank, with the North Londoners on a run of just one win in their last six Premier League games, which has left them in a lowly 14th position in the standings.
Things don’t get any easier for Frank as he attempts to lift his side against a Villa side currently riding high in third place in the EPL. Unai Emery’s well-performing side will be looking for a repeat of their 2-1 win over the Spurs in the fourth round of last year’s tournament.
Spurs take on Aston Villa at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London on Saturday, Jan. 10. Kickoff is set for 5:45 p.m. GMT local time in the UK, which is 12:45 p.m. ET or 9:45 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 4:45 a.m. AEDT in Australia early on Sunday morning.
