Aston Villa – Tottenham

Aston Villa host Tottenham in a clash that pits the league’s 19th‑placed Villa, who have managed only a single point from four games and a meagre 1‑7 goal return, against a 17th‑placed Spurs side that sit on two points, also without a win and with a 0‑5 tally. Both teams are desperate for their first victory, and the fixture offers Villa a chance to close the gap on the bottom‑half while Tottenham will look to climb out of the relegation‑watch zone. Their head‑to‑head this season has yet to produce any points for either side, adding extra urgency to a match that could reshape the early table dynamics.
