Aston Villa travel to Middlesbrough in the FA Cup third round on Saturday, as Unai Emery’s side look to continue their sensational season.

The Villans, despite slip-ups against Sheffield United and Manchester United over the Christmas period, find themselves second in the Premier League – and just three points off leaders Liverpool after 20 games.

Emery has done a sensational job at Villa Park, with his side also in the Europa Conference League knockout stages, and he’ll want to go all the way in the FA Cup, too.

Villa, who have won the competition seven times, travel to Middlesbrough, who are having a hit-and-miss campaign in the Championship.

Michael Carrick’s side secured a play-off spot last season, but they now find themselves in 12th place after 26 games.

In typical Championship fashion, they’re just four points off the play-offs – but also seven points off 19th.
