The Premier League returns for another weekend full of stacked top flight action as we gear up for the final few months of the campaign. It’s pretty clear at this point what everyone is aiming for from top to bottom, but there are still plenty of twists and turns awaiting us on that journey. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a fun encounter between Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur.
Aston Villa Form GuideAston Villa fans are on cloud nine right now. They’re looking good in the Conference League, they are in the top four mix in the Premier League, and their home form is out of this world. The boys from the second city are absolutely flying under Unai Emery and if they can carry this momentum forward, there are a lot of options for the club - and they’re all pretty exciting.
In their clash with Luton Town last weekend, Villa were forced to dig deep after the Hatters came from 2-0 down to draw level at 2-2. It was a tight and tense affair but ultimately, Emery’s men got the job done, showing real heart to edge out a 3-2 win.
Tottenham Form GuideTottenham Hotspur fans have enjoyed seeing Big Ange do his thing with this squad - but as time has gone on, he’s been forced to confront the cold reality of how difficult the Premier League is. The main goal for the remainder of the campaign will be to get the club back in the top four and if he can manage that, he’ll have a solid platform to build off of in the summer.
Spurs were staring at the possibility of a damaging loss to Crystal Palace last Saturday but after digging deep, they were able to pull themselves out of the fire, scoring three quickfire goals to register a really important 3-1 win in the UCL race.
Match PredictionThis is a huge game in the battle to finish in the top four and with it taking place at Villa Park, Spurs really need to come forward with intent if they’re going to push the hosts back. In terms of a prediction, we’re going to be optimistic and suggest that over 2.5 goals will be scored.
