Teams Preview
Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview
During the course of last week’s contest against Everton, Tottenham had gone four consecutive Premier League games without scoring, becoming only the second team since Crystal Palace in 2017/18 (first 7 games) to endure such a barren start.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side at least managed a 0-0 draw against Everton, their second successive goalless draw, but the results remain underwhelming given their summer reinforcements. They were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Liverpool, who secured a 3-1 win in midweek.
There were, however, encouraging signs in that defeat, with Spurs registering a higher xG than Liverpool, 2.33 to 1.53, and more shots, 17 to 12. They still found the net just once, but for a side desperate for a breakthrough, even that offers some hope.
Stats that matter
1. Tottenham are one of three teams in the league yet to score a goal in the competition so far.
2. The 0-0 draw against Everton was Tottenham’s first goalless draw at home in the competition since 2017.
3. Tottenham ranks 19th for expected goals (3.45) in the ongoing edition of the Premier League.
Team News
The midweek Cup clash brought Pedro Porro back into action after he missed the previous two Premier League games. Beyond Mykhaylo Mudryk and the long-term absentees, there are no fresh injury concerns for the side.
Tottenham Hotspur Probable Starting Lineup: Kinsky (GK); Porro, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Robertson, Tonali, Bentancur, Savio, Fernandes, Tel, Solanke
Aston Villa FC Preview
At the time of writing, Aston Villa are preparing for their midweek Carabao Cup clash with Coventry City, where a win and some much-needed goals could provide a timely confidence boost. Goals have been hard to come by in the Premier League, with Alysson’s late effort against Nottingham Forest their only goal so far.
Despite that breakthrough, Villa suffered a third straight league defeat after Igor Jesus struck an 88th-minute winner. There was, however, a notable improvement in their attacking output, with Villa registering five shots on target against Forest after managing just one across their opening three games.
That should offer Unai Emery some encouragement ahead of a meeting with a struggling Tottenham side.
Stats that matter
1. Villa ranks 20th for expected goals (3.39) in the ongoing edition of the Premier League.
2. Aston Villa have conceded at least a goal in ten of their last 11 PL matches.
3. In their last nine away Premier League games, Villa have managed just one win.
Team News
The good news for Aston Villa is that Joao Gomes is back and available after serving his suspension. However, Matty Cash, Ian Maatsen and Pau Torres remain doubts, while Leon Goretzka and Brian Madjo are ruled out alongside long-term absentee Amadou Onana.
Aston Villa Probable Starting Lineup: Bizot (GK); Wan-Bissaka, Harwood-Bellis, Mings, Ruggeri, Bogarde, Kamara, McGinn, Buendia, Mbaye, Abraham
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC vs ASTON VILLA FC
Winning PredictionTottenham’s home struggles have carried into the new campaign, with Spurs still searching for their first win in their last two attempts. Their poor home record also stretches back to last season, as they have won just once in their last 13 league games at home (D5 L7).
Adding to the concern, Villa won 2-1 in this fixture last time out. However, with Villa managing just one win in their last nine away league games, Spurs have reason to believe they can turn things around. With both sides struggling for consistency and goals, this could be a tightly contested affair where a draw remains a strong possibility.
According to one of the bookmakers, a Tottenham win is priced at 2.00, while Villa's win and the draw are both available at 3.60.
