However recent news shows that there is a possibility that tomorrow the game between Aston Villa vs Liverpool on FA Cup might be cancelled due to covid. This could somehow affect their performance against Tottenham on EPL ( or probably the match would be cancelled as well )
I've seen some news that Aston Villa is not taking it as priority and are thus resting out their whole 1st team squad since it's an EFL fixture and don't want to take risks with covid out there. They are likely to test their U23 squad and roll out for their match against Liverpool. I think same would be for Liverpool as they have also match against United and they also wouldn't want to take risks.
That is the case now with many teams from Premier League regarding Epl cup.I think though teams like Burnley,Wba and Fulham might go all out and have this as a major objective because the Premier League has gone wrong for them this year up until now.
