Tottenham and Aston Villa have found themselves in opposite positions to some Premier League pre-season predictions, making this a particularly interesting match-up.
Match News and Current Form
Tottenham, who start the weekend in third place, are on the right trajectory under Thomas Frank, having avoided defeat in their last seven games across all competitions (W4, D3) while gradually welcoming back several key players. Frank watched on anxiously as no fewer than 16 players were called up to senior international duty, but they nearly all came through unscathed while the rest of the squad trained in preparation to return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where they've not lost any of their last three encounters (W2, D1) since a 1-0 league defeat to Bournemouth in August.
The break came at the wrong time for Villa, who were on a four-game winning streak after some early-season woes. Home victories over Burnley (2-1) and Fulham (3-1) did not come especially easily, and their domestic away form certainly leaves a lot to be desired. Villa are near the top of the UEFA Europa League standings after beating Feyenoord 2-0 at De Kuip earlier this month and will hope that they can carry on that momentum to break their drought on English soil, where they have failed to win any of their last five matches on their travels in all competitions (D2, L3).
Head-to-Head History
This fixture has produced 23 consecutive victors (Tottenham: W16, L7), beginning to even up recently with Villa winning two of last season’s three H2Hs. It has been largely predictable recently as far as the odds are concerned, as five of the last six meetings between the sides have been won by the favourites.

Hot Stats and Streaks
Four of Tottenham’s last five games have seen both teams score.
Tottenham have led at half-time in only one of their last seven matches against top-flight opposition in all competitions (HT: W1, D4, L2).
Villa have scored the opening goal just twice in the Premier League this term (W1, D1).
The pre-match favourite has won only two of Villa’s seven league games this season (D3, L2).
Key Players to Watch and Missing Players
Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro could be heavily involved here having registered an assist and receiving two yellow cards across his last four H2Hs. Donyell Malen followed up his match-winning double over Burnley with a goal in the Netherlands’ victory over Finland and has been on the winning side in each of his last eight scoring appearances for club or country.
Yves Bissouma is seemingly the only fresh concern for Spurs after suffering an ankle injury playing for Mali, while Villa’s talisman Ollie Watkins was withdrawn after colliding with a post in England’s game against Wales.
