Thomas Frank and Unai Emery have named their starting lineups and substitutes for this evening’s FA Cup third round clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Aston Villa have arrived in the capital for the fifth time in the last four weeks, eager to win away at Spurs for the second time this season after winning 2-1 on this ground back in October.

Emery has opted for plenty of rotation tonight, making six changes from Wednesday’s 0-0 Premier League draw away at bogey side Crystal Palace. But it’s still a strong side, with little room for fringe players to make appearances.

The big news is Pau Torres comes into the starting XI as he builds fitness following a calf problem. Tyrone Mings returns from injury to make the bench. New signing Alysson is sadly not among the substitutes. For Spurs, Dominic Solanke returns to the matchday squad for the first time since August 23.

Spurs v Villa lineups

Without further ado, here’s how both teams shape up in full.

Spurs XI: Vicario (GK); Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Davies; Gray, Palhinha; Xavi, Odobert, Richarlison; Tel.

Spurs subs: Kinsky (GK), Dragusin, Udogie, Solanke, Spence, Kolo Muani, Scarlett, Byfield, Williams-Barnett.

Villa XI: Bizot (GK); Cash, Konsa, Pau, Maatsen; Bogarde, Kamara; McGinn, Rogers, Buendia; Malen.
