Toby Alderweireld and Eric Dier were the only survivors from the 11 that started against Chelsea for this third round tie.
Mauricio stuck with a back three, Eric took over the captaincy and returned to midfield alongside the ever-impressive Harry Winks, who played his first FA Cup tie alongside fellow Academy graduate Cameron Carter-Vickers.
We dominated possession but creating chances was another matter as Villa stuck to their defensive guns. Villa showed why they’d only conceded two goals in one of Steve Bruce’s 14 matches ahead of this game and it was goalless after an uneventful first half.
