Today’s lunchtime kick-off has been tipped by many as the one to watch for those who fancy a ‘cupset’. Remi Garde’s Villans sit bottom of the top flight table with a miserable 8 points, while Wycombe are riding high in League Two’s playoff places.
The Chairboys went on a famous giant-killing run fifteen years ago, all the way to the semi-finals, where they were knocked out by eventual winners Liverpool. Could they recreate some of that magic today?
Match facts
Aston Villa won 8-3 the last time these sides met, in the 2005/06 League Cup at Adams Park.
The Chairboys have only beaten a higher-ranked side in the Third Round of the FA Cup once, defeating Grimsby in a replay in 2001. That was the season of course they made the semi-final, famously defeating Leicester City along the way.
Aston Villa have won their last seven FA Cup ties against fourth-tier opposition, last losing to a side from that tier in 1972, a 1-0 defeat at Southend in a First Round game.
The Villains have progressed to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup in six of the last seven seasons.
