Premier League preview – Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa prediction
Son Heung-Min, Nabil Bentaleb and Nacer Chadli remain injured for Spurs while Ricardo Fazio and Tom Carroll are also doubts.
Both of Villa’s first choice centre backs are in a race to get fit for Kevin MacDonald’s first game in charge. The caretaker boss has no other serious injury concerns though.

Prediction
Tottenham will be confident of another three points at White Hart Lane given the recent record of their opponents and the return to form of Harry Kane. The striker scored a hat-trick last weekend against Bournemouth and will be looking to make up for lost time in the Premier League top scorers list.
Although Spurs are on a high, the change in manager at Villa Park could inspire a performance and a fresh enthusiasm from the young squad. There is certainly no lack of goal scorers in their side with 3 natural strikers in the predicted starting XI.
Whichever way this game swings a high score could definitely be on the cards. 6 goals were scored in Spurs’ last fixture and there have been over 2.5 goals in Villa’s last 2 matches.
