Under-fire referee Mike Dean to take charge of Tottenham v Aston Villa in FA Cup this weekend

Referee Mike Dean will be back in the spotlight in a televised FA Cup clash on Sunday despite criticism of his handling of West Ham's match against Manchester United.

The 48-year-old has been handed the third-round tie between Tottenham and Aston Villa which will be shown at 4pm on BBC One.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic criticised Dean's decision to send off Sofiane Feghouli in his side's 2-0 loss to Jose Mourinho's team on Monday.

Dean showed his fifth red card in 15 matches this season after just a quarter of an hour following Feghouli's challenge with Phil Jones.
