What channel is Tottenham v Aston Villa FA Cup match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time

Premier League rivals Tottenham and Aston Villa do battle in North London in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

Spurs and under-fire manager Thomas Frank are in need of a boost after Wednesday's defeat at Bournemouth saw them drop to 14th in the table.

The North Londoners ended their long wait for silverware in the Europa League last season but it is still 18 years since they last won a domestic trophy and the FA Cup now looks their best chance of putting that right in 2025/26.

Aston Villa's trophy drought is even longer, going all the way back to 1996, and Unai Emery may be eyeing a cup run this term after the exploits of Crystal Palace and Newcastle last season.

The visitors were held to a goalless draw by the Eagles in midweek but will hope to transfer their form in the Premier League, where they are third after 21 games, into the FA Cup.
