(Previous) Opportunity for Aston Villa and Tottenham to escape during the FA Cup break

Only four matches corresponding to matchday 29 of the Premier League will be played this weekend, reserved in England for the FA Cup quarter-final qualifiers, where Manchester United vs Liverpool FC will be seen during the Sunday session. Regarding the league championship, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa will have opportunities to win to fill their spirits, to establish themselves in the European positions and to get away from the ‘red devils’, their immediate pursuers. Of course, both will play away from home and against dangerous rivals. The Spurs’ visit will be on Saturday (6:30 p.m.) to Craven Cottage, against a Fulham FC team that is in the quiet zone of the standings with 35 points. Far from relegation and from the European positions almost equally, Marco Silva’s men recently emerged from a slump with three victories in their last five Premier events. For their part, Ange Postecoglou’s charges are also in good shape with four wins, one draw and only one defeat in their last six league games. With 53 points in their locker, they are currently fifth and have played one game less than their pursuer Manchester United, which occupies sixth place with 47 points. As a tenant of fourth position, Aston Villa is with 55 points, which on the last Premier matchday lost at home by a tough 0-4 precisely against Tottenham. However, the ‘villains’ later healed their wounds by beating Ajax Amsterdam (4-0) and thus reaching the quarterfinals of the Conference League. To resume the domestic pulse, Unai Emery’s men will visit West Ham this Sunday (3:00 p.m.), which has 43 points and continues fighting to occupy the noble zone. The ‘hammers’ also combine their league competition with presence in a continental tournament, having reached the quarterfinals of the Europa League after overcoming their previous encounter against Freiburg. Regarding the FA Cup, apart from the match at Old Trafford between the ‘red devils’ and the ‘reds’, there will be a Wolverhampton vs Coventry, a Chelsea vs Leicester and the attention will focus above all on the Manchester City duel against the Newcastle United in the Saturday session. –PROGRAM FOR DAY 29 IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE. -Saturday March 16.
