The u18s face Spurs in the u18 Premier League on Wednesday before the u21s travel to Derby in PL2 on Friday. With no Saturday game, it's Villa Everton at VP as we try to close the gap on leaders Arsenal, but there's a tough fixture in the WSL away to Arsenal.

Villa's u21 right back Ashton McWilliams 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 has joined National League side Morecambe on loan for the remainder of the season.

Of course, we all know that Manchester City will draw a home tie against the lowest-ranking team in the competition... but is the FA Cup draw really as biased against Villa as many of us think? The FA Cup fourth round proper draw will be made on Monday 12 January 2026. Some facts and a completely unscientific prediction.

Villa leapfrogged Brighton into 6th place in the WSL after coming from behind to an 11th-minute goal from the visitors to score two goals in two second-half minutes.

Through! And Spurs' thug fest comes to nought.

Zépiqueno Redmond 🇳🇱 misses his 21st game for Huddersfield due to a foot injury.

Sam Lewis has rejoined Oxford City on a one-month loan.

USA International left back Jenna Nighswonger has joined Villa on loan. Jenna has swapped 3rd-placed Arsenal for Natalia Arroyo's 8th-placed side on a loan with an option to buy agreement for the remainder of the 2025-26 WSL season.

Domestic cups haven't been kind to Villa in recent years, but neither have Villa been kind to domestic cups. Villa's fifth successive away game in London could throw up a freak Cup result, but aside of a performance like the first 30 minutes of the second-half against Palace, Villa should qualify for the fourth round with room to spare.

The u21s visit to Brighton in PL2 on Friday is ⚠️ Postponed ⚠️ 🌨️. But, Saturday sees Villa open their 2025-26 FA Cup campaign at Tottenham. Sunday sees a double header as the Women meet Brighton at VP and the u18s take on Reading at Bodymoor.

Following the early termination of her season-long loan at Everton, Villa have announced that Katie Robinson has joined Bristol City on a permanent deal.

Friday, 8 January 2021, one of the most remarkable days in Villa's long and illustrious history as an entirely new team, packed with youth team players, take on the reigning Premier League Champions in the third round of the FA Cup.

We weren't at our usual level but still had our moments. With City drawing nothing's changed, we're still neck and neck. Tomorrow is Arsenal-Liverpool, and there's not a bad outcome for us there. Win, win, win, even if the most important win didn't happen

With Rooney ruling himself out with a pulled-down baseball cap, a pork pie and a can of Stella, United are reportedly looking elsewhere for their saviour, but seriously, would you want any of them even taking care of your wheelie bin? Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjær…. Anfield had the Boot Room; Christ knows what you’d call United’s equivalent. Suffice to say, Rooney, tired and emotional in his camping chair, would do a better job than those three.

In a surprise move, Sarah Mayling, Villa's leading WSL appearance maker, having played 83 times in the competition since re-joining the club in July 2021, has been sent out on loan for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.

Tyrone Mings and Pau Torres will be assessed over the next 24 hours to see if they are ready to return, having missed 13 and 6 games, respectively.

A complete waste of six months in a career that has already been interrupted far too often, nine games, pretty much every one a defeat, no goals, no assists, in fact nothing to show for it but a nasty injury that's put Barry's development on time-lapse again.

Palace are 15 points behind Villa, 14th in the table, and are on a three-game losing run having not won at Selhurst in the League since 1st November and having not won a League game at all since 7th December.

Sil Swinkels has swapped Exeter City for Chesterfield after being recalled early from his season-long loan in Devon.

Aidan Borland has signed on loan with League Two side Swindon Town for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, joining fellow Academy star Finley Munroe, who has already proved a key component of Swindon's Season.
