THE LOWDOWN
ASTON VILLA
- Since the appointment of Unai Emery, Aston Villa have been exceptional but their challenge for Europe has hit a bump as they come into this on the back of back-to-back 1-0 away defeats at Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
- Backup goalkeeper Jed Steer is the only injury absentee for Emery right now, who has plenty of options at his disposal for the visit of Spurs.
TOTTENHAM
- Ryan Mason is the interim coach at Tottenham Hotspur and that job title is representative of how Spurs are playing at the moment: seeing out the season. A slender 1-0 win at home to Crystal Palace last weekend, though, did keep their feint top four hopes alive.
- Mason admitted that Yves Bissouma’s return to the matchday squad last weekend was a little premature, but Clement Lenglet is likely to be available following a minor shoulder complaint.

THE PREDICTION
This could be quite an entertaining encounter at Villa Park this weekend. Whilst Aston Villa come into this on the back of back-to-back defeats, the home team remain in a good place as they challenge for UEFA Europa League qualification. The team they are competing for in the top six always have at least one goal in them because, despite being fairly average on the whole, they have one of, if not the, best strikers in the world. Given that, a high-scoring encounter could be in store.
TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
