Confirmed Spurs XI vs The Villa

Aston Villa fought their way back into the top flight, but have failed to convince – it is looking extremely likely that it will be a close call in the final furlongs of the 2019/20 season, to see if they remain in the division. Villa have managed just 7 Premier League wins from 25 played so far.

The form book is on Tottenham’s side, we’re unbeaten in their last 22 Premier League away games against promoted sides (W18 D4) since a 0-1 loss at QPR in April 2012. However, Villa Park isn’t a happy hunting ground for our latest gaffer. Of away grounds he’s visited at least five times in the Premier League, only at St James’ Park (0/7) has Spurs boss José Mourinho won fewer games than he has in Aston (1/6).

That said, in all competitions, Spurs have won 10 of their last 11 meetings with Aston Villa and Villa are winless in their last eight Premier League home games against Spurs (D2 L6), losing each of the last four in a row.
