Prediction for Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur
Last season, these clubs fiercely competed for fourth place in the Premier League. Despite their concurrent run in the Conference League, the Birmingham-based club proved stronger, finishing just two points ahead – 68 to 66 – and securing a top-four spot.
Spurs were eager to improve and signed centre-forward Solanke in the summer. However, he has failed to live up to expectations, and injuries have taken a heavy toll on the squad. Nevertheless, they have looked competitive in the Europa League and managed to eliminate Manchester City and Manchester United in the EFL Cup, even putting up a fight against Liverpool in the first leg. However, on Thursday, they were thrashed 0-4 at Anfield. In the Premier League, they have even lost to Leicester, dropping to a point-per-game form. At least they managed to beat Brentford.
Emery’s team made a strong debut in the Champions League, starting with victories, but then clearly lost momentum, especially in the Premier League. They even suffered a 0-2 defeat to relegation-battling Wolves.
In the FA Cup, the Birmingham club had a tough opponent in West Ham, who had just changed managers, but they managed to win at home in a comeback victory. The London club, meanwhile, started their campaign against lowly Tamworth, thrashing them 3-0, but only scoring after the 100th minute.
