Aston Villa turn attention to Tottenham trip after cup progress

Aston Villa have set their sights on Saturday's Premier League visit to Tottenham Hotspur, turning the page on midweek cup action. The club confirmed the north London fixture as the immediate priority following Wednesday night's League Cup tie.

Unai Emery's squad secured a 3-1 victory over Coventry City at the Coventry Building Society Arena two days ago. That result keeps momentum going into a demanding run of matches, with the early Saturday kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium presenting a swift turnaround.

Villa will be looking to build on recent form when they face Spurs at 12:30 UK time. The trip follows a mixed start to the league campaign that has included a Champions League win at Club Brugge and a home defeat by Nottingham Forest.
