After the high of securing Champions League qualification last season, Aston Villa’s 2024/25 league campaign has petered out a little and has been far less impressive.

The Midlands side still have a shot at an FA Cup Wembley appearance.

Unai Emery is likely to rotate his squad for this clash, but he should still field a strong side against Cardiff as Villa aim for a place in the quarter finals.

Exciting news for Villa fans as January signing Marcus Rashford is among those expected to be given a start.

Cardiff City have struggled in the Championship this season and are in the midst of a relegation battle but the FA Cup presents an opportunity to boost confidence against their illustrious opponents.

The Bluebirds took a vital step towards survival on Tuesday with a crucial 1-0 home win over fellow strugglers Hull City. Omar Riza’s side will now look to build on that momentum as they turn their attention to the cup.

Cardiff have history in this competition, having reached the final in 2008, but even if Villa make changes, this will be a tough ask for the Championship side.

Villa should win this one with ease.
