Aston Villa vs Tottenham Predictions
This is a contest between two sides who are struggling to recreate their form from the start of the season. Spurs are arguably in more need of the points given the pressure placed on them achieve qualification for European football.
- Aston Villa have lost their last 5 matches against Tottenham (Premier League)
- Tottenham have scored 2+ goals in 11 of their last 12 matches against Aston Villa (all competitions)
- Tottenham have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of their last 6 matches (Premier League)
Head-to-Head
Tottenham possess a 74-56 head-to-head advantage over Villa, with the two clubs drawing 36 of their 166 competitive meetings.
At Villa Park last season, Spurs won 3-2 courtesy of a brace from Son Heung-Min and a goal from Toby Alderweireld.
Aston Villa Form
Dean Smith’s side have been on a sticky patch, winning just one of their last six PL matches. This has been largely influenced by injuries to Jack Grealish and Matty Cash.
Villa have only conceded two goals in their last four, but only scored two during a run against Leeds, Sheffield United, Wolves, and Newcastle, which will be concerning for Smith.
Aston Villa Injuries & Team News
The return of Jack Grealish should be a major boost for Smith’s side as he is likely to feature. Bertrand Traore and Kortney Hause remain doubtful.
Villa have their first-choice defence available, plus striker Ollie Watkins will be on cloud nine following his callup to the England squad.
Tottenham Form
Jose Mourinho’s appeared to have turned a corner by winning three PL matches in a row.
Losing against Arsenal combined with a shock Europa League exit against Dinamo Zagreb will have completely sunk the mood around Spurs.
Those results mean that this will be a must-win game for Spurs, as they are under intense pressure to qualify for Europe via the Premier League.
Tottenham Injuries & Team News
Son Heung-Min is the key player missing for Spurs through injury, with Erik Lamela also missing following his red card in the North London derby last weekend.
Mourinho is likely to make vast changes from their embarrassing 3-0 defeat against Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday night.

Verdict
