What channel is Aston Villa v Cardiff FA Cup match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Aston Villa v Cardiff in the FA Cup, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Aston Villa will look to punch their ticket to the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in a decade when they host Championship strugglers Cardiff City in round five on Friday.
The Villans failed to progress beyond the fourth round since being beaten in the 2015 final, but Unai Emery's side have already seen off Premier League rivals West Ham and Tottenham in this season's competition.
They have a bit of a point to prove, however, after shipping four goals in Tuesday's disappointing league defeat at Crystal Palace.
While Villa are also challenging for Champions League honours, Cardiff are battling relegation from the Championship, and Tuesday's 1-0 victory over fellow strugglers Hull City means they are 19th in the table.
The FA Cup has provided a welcome distraction for the Bluebirds as they got the better of second-tier rivals Sheffield United and Stoke City in the previous rounds.
