Aston Villa Vs Tottenham Match Preview
Aston Villa are back to winning ways with three consecutive Premier League victories ahead of their clash against Tottenham. Last weekend’s 3-2 win over Luton Town tightened their grip in fourth place, five points ahead of Tottenham in the final Champions League berth. Unai Emery’s side could open up an eight-point gap with 10 games to go, which means the first Champions League football is within touching distance since 1983. Having won 10 of their last 13 home games in the league, with only the top 3 taking more points than them, they will be hoping to extend that run with another win on Sunday.
A trip to the West Midlands awaits after Tottenham got back to winning ways, securing a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace in a London derby, losing just one game in their last seven league matches. Wolves stunned Ange Postecoglou’s side at home a fortnight ago as they fell five points behind the pace for a Champions League spot, with a game in hand as well. A win for Spurs would reduce the gap to two points, still with a huge game against London rivals Chelsea that could eventually put them in the driving seat for next season’s Champions League.
The away trips have not been fruitful for the North London side, winning only one of their last six away games. This form on travels is the major reason for their dented Champions League hopes, having missed out on top-flight continental football completely. On the contrary, no team has lost fewer matches on the road in the Premier League than Spurs, losing just twice away from their home base.
