The fixture is also subject to potential postponement dependent upon Liverpool’s participation in the Carabao Cup final that weekend. Tottenham lead the semi-final tie 1-0 after winning their home leg earlier this month.
Lucas Bergvall gave Spurs a narrow advantage to take to Anfield, with the second leg set to take place on Thursday, February 6. That's just three days before Villa then host Tottenham in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, February 9.
If Liverpool beat Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final, then Villa will only play one Premier League match in the month of March against Brentford on the 8th, which has been selected for TV. The trip to the Gtech Community Stadium comes between the Champions League round of 16 home and away legs and will kick off at 5:30pm on Sky Sports.
Villa could either play six matches in all competitions in March or only one, depending on their progress in the FA Cup and the Champions League, plus Liverpool's ability to beat Spurs in the Carabao Cup.
If Villa beat Spurs in the FA Cup next month, then they will play in the fifth round on the weekend of Saturday, March 1. The quarter-finals are scheduled for Saturday, March 29.
