Tottenham vs Aston Villa Preview
- Competition: Premier League.
- Date: Sunday, November 3.
- Time: 3:00P PM GMT.
- Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham vs Aston Villa will be one of two games scheduled to be played on November 3 as the Premier League campaign has reached an interesting point.
Spurs will enter this contest on the back of a mixed run of form. They have won three and lost two of their last five games across competitions and will be eager to rectify the inconsistency. They scored nine goals and conceded six, but they will look to put up better numbers in the upcoming fixtures. They lost their last league game 1-0 against Crystal Palace but defeated Manchester City 2-1 in the EFL Cup and will look to replicate the latter.
Villa, on the other hand, will enter this game on the back of a slightly better run of form. In their last five games, they have secured two wins, two draws and have fallen to one defeat across competitions. Their last outing in the Premier League was a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth, while their last outing was a 2-1 defeat in the EFL Cup at the hands of Crystal Palace. They will look to perform better in their next match.
On that note, let’s take a look at the team news from both camps.
Tottenham vs Aston Villa Team News
Tottenham Team News
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou made a few changes to his XI that ended up defeating Man City last time out. However, he will revert to the same team that fell against Palace as that is their strongest combination and is usually deployed in PL games. Wilson Odobert, Djed Spence and Heung-min Son remain doubtful after picking up knocks.
Aston Villa Team News
Manager Unai Emery went with a fairly strong lineup in his team’s last game and will look to repeat the same against Spurs. He will mostly start the same XI that drew against Bournemouth, hoping to extract a performance out of the same combination. They will have no injuries or suspensions, with Jaden Philogene-Bidace also set to return.

Key Players to Watch
James Maddison (Tottenham)
The English midfielder has made a great start to the season for Tottenham. He has already contributed to five goals for the team in the Premier League and leads the charts alongside chief creator Heung-min Son. However, Maddison will be in the spotlight in the South Korean superstar’s absence as the team will rely on him for creating chances.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
Villa’s chief creator this season has been first-choice striker Ollie Watkins, who has contributed to seven goals for the team so far. His ability to score as well as create scoring opportunities for his teammates makes him one of the most important and arguably irreplaceable pieces in Emery’s side. He will be crucial for his team going forward at one of the trickier stadiums in England.
Tottenham vs Aston Villa Prediction
If one goes by the recent meetings between these two teams, there is little to choose as there are no obvious patterns in the results. Their individual form guides also do not tell much of a story about how the match would go. However, with the talent these two outfits possess, it could very well be their first draw in a long time.
Prediction: Tottenham 2-2 Aston Villa.
