With just four games remaining, Roberto De Zerbi faces a crucial task: keep Spurs in the Premier League and secure a 50th consecutive top-flight season.
A year ago, both sides were chasing Champions League football. Now:
- Villa are pushing for Europe again
- Spurs are battling relegation
Villa’s schedule may offer Spurs a lifeline, with this match falling between their Europa League semi-final ties.
Team News & Key Players
- Spurs injury concerns remain significant, including Xavi Simons and possibly Dominic Solanke
- Key doubts: Sarr, Udogie, Vicario
- Ollie Watkins (Villa) is in strong form – 7 goals in 9 games
- Supporting threats: Rogers, Buendía, McGinn
Key Stats
- No draws in the last 21 league meetings
- Villa have won 5 of the last 7 encounters
- Spurs have won 8 of their last 10 visits to Villa Park
Prediction
Spurs will need resilience and perhaps a bit of luck. With Villa potentially rotating due to European commitments, a result is possible.
