It has been a challenging period for Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, and they come into this crucial clash on Sunday following back-to-back defeats. The Villa were beaten 1-0 in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final by Nottingham Forest, and that competition could take priority for the club this week.

Their overall form would be a negative, as Villa have won just two of their last seven. However, Ollie Watkins is a player in excellent recent form, having netted ten of his eleven Premier League goals this season since the start of December.

Tottenham’s long wait for a win in the Premier League in 2026 ended last weekend, as Roberto De Zerbi’s side claimed a crucial 1-0 victory at Wolves. However, other results mean that Tottenham remain two points adrift of EPL safety.

Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons were both injured in the win, meaning additional pressure will be on Richarlison in the final third. The Brazilian has enjoyed a productive campaign, registering 13 goal involvements this season.

Team News:

Ben Davies (Leg), Xavi Simons (Knee), Dominic Solanke (Muscle), Pape Sarr (Shoulder), Destiny Udogie (Other), Mohammed Kudus (Thigh), Cristian Romero (Knee)

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Kinsky (GK); Porro, Danso, van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Gallagher; Muani, Bissouma, Tel; Richarlison

Aston Villa vs. Tottenham Picks

Tottenham’s injury list is extensive, and they still looked nervy despite beating Wolves last weekend. Against a much better rival this weekend, they are likely to be punished. It is also hard to ignore that Villa have won six of their last ten against Spurs.
