There are some fantastic fixtures to look forward to in the English Premier League this weekend as we make our predictions for this top five clash.
The game between Aston Villa and Tottenham will be played at Villa Park on the 10th of March. The hosts begin this round of matches in 4th place on 55 points while the visitors are in 5th place on 50 points.
Aston Villa come into the match on the back of a 0-0 draw at Ajax in the Europa Conference League round of 16 first leg on Thursday night.
With the game drawing to a close without any goals, both teams had a player sent off, leading to suspensions for the second leg.
The draw at Ajax means Aston Villa are undefeated in each of their last 4 fixtures in all competitions. There have been wins over Fulham and Luton Town away plus Nottingham Forest at home in the Premier League.
Trends show Aston Villa are unbeaten in 25 of their last 30 games in all competitions. Both teams have scored in each of their last 6 home matches.
In terms of the Premier League, Aston Villa are undefeated in 18 of their last 20 home games. However, they have won only 2 of their 5 most recent Premier League fixtures on home soil, with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals in each of their last 4 home league games.
Tottenham Hotspur travel to Villa Park having beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at home last weekend in the Premier League.
With the score 0-0 at half time, Crystal Palace took a shock lead in the 59th minute. Spurs equalised in the 77th minute and took the lead 3 minutes later. A third goal 2 minutes from time sealed the win.
The victory over Crystal Palace means Spurs are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 fixtures, with all 5 games played in the Premier League. There have been wins over Brentford and Brighton at home plus a 2-2 draw at Everton.
Statistics show Spurs are undefeated in 11 of their 13 most recent away Premier League matches.
However, they have won only 1 of their last 6 league games on the road and have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 away Premier League fixtures.
Team news and Aston Villa have several players on the treatment table including Jacob Ramsey, Diego Carlos, Boubacar Kamara, Jhon Durán, Tyrone Mings, and Emiliano Buendia.
Spurs make the trip without the injured quartet of Fraser Forster, Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon, and Richarlison. There are doubts over the fitness of Pedro Porro.
This should be a thrilling game to watch and we expect to see over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
It is difficult to split the teams and it could be Spurs who came away the happier with a draw.
