TEAMS PREVIEW

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

Since their defeat to Bournemouth in matchweek three, Thomas Frank’s men have quietly pieced together a four-game unbeaten run (2W, 2D). While those wins came against newly promoted sides, their latest triumph at Elland Road—where no team had beaten Leeds until now—was a statement victory, sealed by goals from Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus. 

However, Spurs have struggled to assert dominance at home, managing just one win in three games—including a draw with bottom-placed Wolves and a defeat—something Thomas Frank will be eager to turn around this weekend.

Stats that matter 

1. Tottenham have won just three of their last 17 Premier League home games (D4 L10).
2. Spurs have been clinical in front of goal this season, boasting a 16.9% conversion rate—the second-best in the league, just behind Manchester City’s 17.4%.
3. Mohammed Kudus has been unstoppable this season, leading the league with 30 successful dribbles while no other player has 20 or more. 

Team News 

In a boost for Frank, French forward Kolo Muani and Kota Takai are both fit and available. However, the relief is tempered by bad news as Yves Bissouma, who recently returned to action for Mali, has suffered a fresh injury and was stretchered off.

Tottenham Hotspur Probable XI - Vicario (GK): Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie (Defenders); Bentacur, Xavi Simons, Palhinha ( Midfielders); Kudus, Johnson, Richarlison (Forwards).

Aston Villa FC Preview

After a sluggish start with no wins in their first five games, Villa have rediscovered their rhythm with successive victories over Fulham (3-1) and Burnley (2-1). The Burnley win, in particular, showcased Unai Emery’s tactical brilliance as he deployed dual strikers—Donyell Malen and Ollie Watkins—to outsmart Burnley’s back five. Malen’s brace justified the switch, and after weeks of criticism for being too rigid, Emery’s newfound flexibility is a promising sign for the Villans.

Stats that matter 

1. 25% of Villa's shots in the league have been from corner situations with only West Ham having more (26%).
2. Morgan Rogers has assisted (9) more goals in the Premier League in 2025 than any player in the league.
3. Aston Villa have won eight of their last 11 league games that have been played after an International break. 

Team News 

Emery will be anxiously monitoring Ollie Watkins’ fitness after the striker withdrew from the England squad following a freak collision with the post. England boss Thomas Tuchel called it a precaution, and Emery will be hoping that’s all it is. Meanwhile, Youri Tielemans remains sidelined until late November.

Aston Villa Probable XI - Martinez (GK); Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne (Defenders); Bogarde, McGinn, Elliott (Midfielders); Rogers, Guessand, Watkins (Forwards). 

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC vs ASTON VILLA FC
Winning Prediction

Heading into the clash, Spurs look the more settled side. However, Spurs’ coach has struggled against Unai Emery, remaining winless in all five encounters. Yet, Villa’s four wins in their last six games against Spurs—and the hosts’ patchy home form—suggest the visitors have every reason to fancy their chances.
