Ladbrokes previews Aston Villa vs Tottenham in the Premier League
Morgan Rogers is tipped for two or more shots on target with Conor Gallagher committing at least two fouls
We are predicting an Aston Villa victory with over 1.5 total goals scored
Tottenham continue their battle against relegation from the Premier League as they visit fifth-placed Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.
Spurs got their first win of 2026 and of the Roberto De Zerbi era with a late 1-0 win at Wolves last weekend, but remain in the bottom three after relegation-rivals West Ham also scored late to beat Everton 2-1.
Villa remain on course for Champions League qualification in fifth - eight points ahead of Brighton in sixth - and arguably have bigger priorities to focus on as they trail Nottingham Forest 1-0 in their Europa League semi-final ahead of the second leg at Villa Park next Thursday, so it remains to be seen how strong a lineup Unai Emery names.
Check out our in-depth preview for Villa vs Spurs, including our expert bet builder tips, predictions and expected lineups. Villa are 10/11 favourites to win with a Spurs victory priced at 9/4 and a draw 5/2.
Our predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Kinsky / Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence / Gallagher, Bentancur / Kolo Muani, Bergvall, Tel / Richarlison
Aston Villa vs Tottenham bet builder tips
Morgan Rogers to have 2+ shots on target
It is hard to predict whether Emery decides to rest his key men with such a big game on the horizon - but you can usually count on Morgan Rogers to feature, with the England man playing a part in all 50 of Villa's games this season and starting every match in the Premier League so far.
The forward is the source of much of the creativity in Villa's side and is averaging just under a shot on target every game this season (0.9). We're tipping the 23-year-old to go one better and test the goalkeeper with two in this game.
Conor Gallagher to commit two or more fouls
If things had panned out different, Conor Gallagher could well have been lining up in a Villa shirt for this game but he now finds himself battling to preserve Tottenham's status as a Premier League ever-present.
It will take a gritty performance from Spurs to have any chance of grabbing points at a ground where Villa are very hard to beat, losing just four times in 17 at Villa Park this term. With the likes of Rogers and potentially Jadon Sancho set to feature, we think the tough-tackling midfielder is in line to commit at least two fouls.
Over 1.5 goals to be scored
You have to go all the way back to 2004 to find the last time this fixture was decided by only one goal, so it feels set for at least two goals in this game.
Villa have won either 2-0 or 2-1 in three of the last four meetings with Spurs and, in line with our score prediction, our experts are tipping over 1.5 goals to be scored in this game once again.
Aston Villa to win
As just mentioned, Villa have a decent home record against Spurs in recent years, while overall it is seven wins in nine against the North Londoners.
With Champions League qualification yet to be secured and a bounce back from the Forest defeat important to their hopes overturning their European tie next week, we believe the Villans will assert their authority and get the victory.
