Tottenham aims to build on a recent victory and escape the Premier League relegation zone when they face Champions League contenders Aston Villa at Villa Park this evening. Spurs secured their first league win of 2026 last weekend, and a triumph here could lift them out of the bottom three following West Ham’s heavy loss to Brentford yesterday.
Match Preview
Tottenham has struggled against Villa this season, losing both encounters at home. Their challenge intensifies with Xavi Simons and Dominic Solanke joining an extensive injury list. Manager Roberto De Zerbi anticipates returns for Destiny Udogie and Pape Matar Sarr, bolstering his squad for this crucial relegation fight.
Aston Villa eyes a top-five finish to secure Champions League qualification through the league, though their upcoming Europa League semi-final second leg may influence preparations. Unai Emery’s team can nearly lock in that position with a win tonight.
