TEAMS PREVIEW

Aston Villa FC Preview

Unai Emery is beginning to feel the pressure as the season reaches its climax, with Aston Villa fighting to hold onto a top-five spot and secure Champions League qualification. 

With Brighton & Hove Albion closing in, Villa likely need at least six more points — a task made trickier by looming clashes against Liverpool FC and Manchester City. 

That makes upcoming games against struggling sides like Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley FC virtually a must-win.

Form, however, is a concern. Villa have picked up just eight points from their last eight matches and come into this fixture on the back of consecutive 1-0 defeats to Fulham FC and Nottingham Forest in the Europa League. 

With one eye already on their Europa League second leg, Emery will still demand a response as his side look to steady their campaign against Tottenham.

Stats that matter 

1. Aston Villa have fourth best numbers at home in the league and are on a two-match winning streak.
2. 36.9% of the chances Villa have created in the PL this season have come through the middle third of the pitch, which ranks fourth best in the league currently.
3. Aston Villa have scored at least two goals in their last four matches in all competitions. 

Team News 

For the Villans, Unai Emery will have to cope without both Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara, with the midfield duo sidelined through injury ahead of the clash.

Aston Villa Probable XI - Martinez (GK); Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Tielemans, Bogarde, Bailey, Rogers, Sancho, Watkins 

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

After stepping in for Igor Tudor, Roberto De Zerbi finally got his first taste of success with Tottenham Hotspur, guiding them to a narrow 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. 

The result may have been narrow, but its significance was huge, ending a 15-match wait for a Premier League victory — their first since December.

There are signs of improvement too, with Spurs picking up four points from their last two matches, matching what they had managed in their previous 13. 

Confidence is slowly returning, and they now have a chance to win back-to-back league games for just the second time this season. 

With Aston Villa struggling for form and juggling European commitments, Spurs couldn’t have picked a better moment to head to Villa Park.

Stats that matter 

1. Under De Zerbi Spurs are averaging more pressed sequences per game (12.7) and possession won in the final third per game (5.3) than they had under Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor's tenure.
2. 10 of the 11 goals scored by Oliie Watkins have come since the start of December, and no player has scored more during this period in the league.
3. Tottenham are conceding an average 1.61 goals in away games across all competitions. 

Team News 

Tottenham Hotspur were dealt a major setback in their last outing, with Xavi Simons suffering an ACL injury that rules him out for the remainder of the season. There’s further concern around Dominic Solanke, who is also expected to miss out through injury. However, there is a boost for Spurs, as Destiny Udogie has recovered and is back in contention for Sunday’s fixture.

Tottenham Hotspur Probable XI - Kinsky (GK); Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Palhinha, Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Tel, Richarlison 

ASTON VILLA FC vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
Winning Prediction

On paper, Aston Villa have had the upper hand in this fixture, winning each of their last four Premier League meetings against Tottenham Hotspur—scoring twice in every one of those games.

That said, Spurs will sense an opportunity given Villa’s dip in form and the added strain of balancing domestic and European commitments. Even so, Villa have shown resilience in such scenarios, winning nine of their last 12 matches following a Europa League outing. All things considered, they still hold the edge and are backed to come out on top in this clash. 

We predict a draw (1-1)
