Tottenham are wearing black armbands tonight in tribute to legendary forward Martin Chivers, who died on Wednesday at the age of 80.

Chivers was instrumental in securing two League Cup triumphs and a memorable UEFA Cup success for the club.

Tottenham confirmed the news in a heartfelt statement, expressing “immense sadness” at the passing of their “legendary former striker.”

A minute’s applause will also be held for Terry Yorath. Several Tottenham legends, including Glenn Hoddle, have returned tonight to pay tribute.

Tottenham won just four home Premier League matches in 2025, under both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank. Their record under Frank has been better in the cup competitions this season but this feels like a must-win for him tonight. Tottenham were booed off following a 1-1 draw with Sunderland during their last home outing.

Manchester City recorded the biggest FA Cup win from a top-flight side since 1960 as Pep Guardiola’s team thrashed League One’s Exeter City 10-1 at the Etihad.

Antoine Semenyo made his debut for City following his £64m move from Bournemouth and was among the scorers, along with youngsters Max Alleyne and Ryan McAidoo as well as strikes from first-team stars Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, Nico O’Reilly and two from Rico Lewis.

Exeter’s Jake Doyle-Hayes and Jack Fitzwater both put through their own net, while George Birch gave the away fans something to shout about with a stunning 90th-minute consolation. However, Exeter’s celebrations were short lived as Lewis scored his second – and City’s 10th – in stoppage time.

Remarkably, Erling Haaland was not among the scorers despite starting for Guardiola’s team and playing the entire first half.

It’s been quite the day of FA Cup shocks already, with Macclesfield’s magical win over Crystal Palace the biggest upset in the competition’s history.

We now switch our attention to an all-Premier League clash.

Aston Villa won 2-1 against Tottenham in last season’s FA Cup fourth round, as Unai Emery’s side reached the semi-finals for the first time since their last FA Cup final appearance in 2015.

They have won their last three meetings with Tottenham, too, with another 2-1 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this season in the Premier League.

Morgan Rogers scored a fine goal that day.

Aston Villa have a 10-point cushion to fifth-placed Brentford in the Premier League, so their position in the top four is looking secure.

So do Villa stick or twist? Focus on the Premier League and try and catch leaders Arsenal, or go for silverware in either the Europa League or FA Cup?

“Winning the FA Cup,” Morgan Rogers said, without a second of doubt, when asked by the BBC.

“I’ve been here when we’ve been in the top four. To win the FA Cup, something different, I’ve never won a trophy, would be really nice.”

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez does not make the squad due to injury, with Marco Bizot stepping in. Ollie Watkins and Youri Tielemans are rested but the likes of Morgan Rogers and Ezri Konsa start. Emi Buendia and Lamare Bogarde come in.

There’s no Mohammed Kudus, Cristian Romero, Rodrigo Bentancur or Lucas Bergvall for Tottenham but Thomas Frank has at least been boosted by the return of Dominic Solanke, back in a Spurs squad for the first time since August. Frank has gone as strong as he could, given the absences.
