Tottenham vs Aston Villa Match Preview and Team News
Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to get back on track in the Premier League on New Year’s Day, as Spurs saw their advantage in the race for a Champions League spot washed away on the resumption. Spurs now sit only a point clear of Manchester United coming into this fixture, and they could drop outside the top four before kicking off against Aston Villa. Antonio Conte’s side was fortunate to escape their previous game with a point, as they trailed 2-0 at the break against Brentford. However, goals from Harry Kane and Pierre Hojberg ensured that they were able to pick up a point. But Conte will be slightly concerned by just how many times Spurs hand opposing teams a head start. Harry Kane put his penalty heartbreak for England before him by netting against Brentford on Boxing Day. Aston Villa has been a productive rival for the England captain throughout his career, as he has won nine of the eleven games that he has played against the West Midlands side. Furthermore, he has scored seven career goals against Villa and has recorded four assists. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg plays great and does not allow the opponent to play in the middle of the field. Lucas Moura is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, and he has excellent ball control and can be satisfied with his performance.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa remains in the bottom half of the standings coming into their second game following the Premier League restart. Unai Emery’s side has lost two of their previous four in the league, which includes a 3-1 defeat against Liverpool in their first match following the break for the World Cup. In fairness, Villa played reasonably well in that fixture, but defensive mistakes and an inability to take their chances ensured they always looked likely to suffer a defeat. However, there is still every chance they can get back on track against the Spurs on New Year’s Day. Emiliano Buendia found the right role in the team, he moves great in the middle of the field, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from this guy. Philippe Coutinho shows why he was brought in, Barca easily gave up the phenomenal player.
