Aston Villa
Aston Villa is becoming one of those teams that constantly strive for the highest places. Currently, Birmingham is 4th in the Premier League standings, leading Tottenham, who come fifth, by 5 points. A ticket for the Champions League would confirm a significant progress achieved with Unai Emery appointed as the head coach. After a 1:2 home defeat to Manchester United, the Yellow-Blues picked up the pace and won three matches in a row against Fulham (1:2), Nottingham Forest (4:2), and Luton Town last weekend (2:3). This week, Aston Villa drew 0:0 with Ajax in the first meet of the 1/8 Conference League finals. The hosts can't be characterised as having a reliable defense, having conceded on multiple occasions in four of their last six Premier League matches, yet their impressive scoring streak at Villa Park has been ongoing for 27 tours!
Villa takes the fourth place in terms of home points earned (31 in 13 matches). Missing from the squad are still key defender Mings and Frenchman Boubacar Kamara, attacking midfielders Ramsey and Buendia, as well as forward Duran. Also, central defender Konsa returned to service last weekend. The unstoppable forward Ollie Watkins (16 goals and 10 assists) netted yet another double against Luton and will start, while winger Leon Bailey (8 goals and 8 assists) will accompany him on the left attack flank. After a rotation in the Conference League, Alex Moreno, Diego Carlos, and Matty Cash will return to the lineup, while John McGinn will replace Tim Iroegbunam in the support zone.
Tottenham
After a disappointing last year campaign, Tottenham is regaining its former standings under Ange Postecoglou. Currently, the Londoners hold 5th place in the Premier League table and lag behind their opponent by 5 points, having one match at hand, making the upcoming match crucial in the Champions League entry race. After a five-tour streak without a defeat (3 wins and 2 draws), the Spurs suffered a defeat, losing at home to Wolverhampton (1:2). But last weekend, the Whites resumed their winning procession, defeating Crystal Palace (3:1). Eberichi Eze opened the score early in the second half with a powerful shot from a free-kick but was then overturned by Timo Werner, Cristian Romero, and Son Heung-Min. However, Tottenham's away performance leaves much to be desired: Postecoglou's unit has only one win in the last six matches away from home, losing three of them.
Brazilian forward Richarlison is still recovering from injury; Sessegnon and Solomon, as well as substitute goalkeeper Forster, have joined him in the infirmary. Right back Pedro Porro also missed the last two matches, however, Postecoglou stated that the player has fully recovered from the sprain and is ready to play on Sunday. German Timo Werner (1 goal and 2 assists in 6 Premier League matches) took advantage of Richarlison's absence and scored his first goal for Tottenham last week – he will form the attacking quartet with Kulusevski (6 goals and 2 assists), Maddison (3 goals and 7 assists), and Son (13 goals and 6 assists).
Head to Head
Aston Villa prevailed over Tottenham in all of their last three Premier League matches, with a 1:2 away victory for the Lions in the first round.
Match prediction
Aston Villa, eyeing the Champions League quartet, can't afford a hitch in a home match against a direct competitor. The hosts, even though they played Conference League on Thursday, rotated the team. Tottenham, performing less brightly away from home, managed only 1 away win in their last six matches. My prediction is an Aston Villa win with a handicap of 0.
