Aston Villa - Tottenham Prediction in Round 37 of the Premier League

Overview

Aston Villa are in the final stages of an excellent season. Coach Unai Emery's team won 7/8 of the most recent rounds. Their only defeat was against Man City, a team that is also in very good form.

Thanks to this impressive streak of form, Aston Villa have revived their chances of participating in the Champions League. They are now in 5th place behind Chelsea and are only behind in goal difference. Aston Villa will have a slight advantage with an easier match schedule.

Aston Villa's opponent in the next match is Tottenham. Spurs have run out of Premier League targets this season. The focus of coach Angle Postecoglou's team has been on the Europa League final against Man United in the middle of next week.

It is likely that Tottenham will leave many key players in the upcoming away trip to Villa Park. This is a good opportunity for Aston Villa to win all 3 points, thereby putting pressure on Chelsea, because they are the team that plays first.

At Villa Park, Aston Villa have lost just one of their 18 Premier League games this season, including 10 wins. Therefore, they can be confident against a Spurs team that no longer cares about the result.

This match has been very tense in recent seasons, with Spurs winning 7/12 of their most recent matches and losing 5. Tottenham won 4-1 in the first leg of the Premier League this season, while Villa beat their opponents 2-1 in the FA Cup.

Personnel situation

Aston Villa's Jacob Ramsey is suspended after his direct red card in the match against Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford and Youri Tielemans are likely to continue to be absent due to injury.

Dejan Kulusevski was delayed on the Spurs side last weekend, so he will be out alongside Lucas Bergvall, Radu Dragusin and James Maddison. Son-Heung min has returned from injury and is uncertain to start.

Expected lineup:

Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne, Kamara, Onana, Rogers, McGinn, Asensio, Watkins.

Tottenham: Kinsky, Danso, Porro, Spence, Davies, Gray, Sarr, Bissouma, Tel, Moore, Odobert.
