Tottenham eyes a vital win to escape the Premier League relegation zone when they face Champions League contenders Aston Villa at Villa Park this evening. Spurs secured their first league victory of 2026 last weekend and can now leapfrog 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 roster. Yet, manager Roberto De Zerbi welcomes back Destiny Udogie and Pape Matar Sarr, bolstering options for this crucial relegation scrap.

Aston Villa pushes for a top-five finish to secure Champions League football, though their focus might split ahead of next week’s Europa League semi-final second leg. A victory tonight nearly locks in that objective for Unai Emery’s squad.
