Match Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Aston Villa

Tottenham's recent form has been a bit up and down, but they've shown they can nick a win away from home. They'll need to be sharp against Villa, who've been fairly solid at home. Spurs might look to exploit Villa's defence with quick breaks, especially after their convincing win over West Ham. It'll be a tight affair, but Tottenham's flair could just edge it.

Aston Villa have been strong at home, with wins against Burnley and Fulham. They'll fancy their chances, but the draw against Sunderland shows they can be caught out. Villa's attack, led by Watkins, will test Tottenham's backline, but they'll need to be wary of Spurs' counter-attacking threat. This one could go either way, but Villa's recent form might just keep them in it.

Tottenham's recent results show a team that can be unpredictable. They've managed to secure wins against Leeds and West Ham, but also dropped points at home. This inconsistency might make them a bit nervous, but their ability to score when it counts could be key. If they can keep their focus, they've got a good chance of coming away with a win.

• Draw: 2-2 vs Brighton & Hove Albion (A)

• Win: 3-0 vs West Ham United (A)

• Loss: 0-1 vs AFC Bournemouth (H)

Aston Villa have been solid at times, with wins against Burnley and Fulham. However, their draw against Sunderland and loss to Crystal Palace show they're not unbeatable. Villa's attack has been potent, but they'll need to be more solid at the back if they want to keep Tottenham at bay. Their overall form gives them a good shot, but they'll need to be on their game.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 2-1 vs Burnley (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Sunderland (A)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Everton (A)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Crystal Palace (H)

The head-to-head record between Tottenham and Aston Villa has been quite even recently. Tottenham won convincingly in their last home game against Villa, but Villa have also had their moments, including a 2-0 win in their most recent encounter. This suggests that both teams can get the better of each other on their day, making for an unpredictable clash.

With Kudus and Bentancur in the lineup, Tottenham will look to control the midfield and launch quick counter-attacks. The absence of several key players might force them to rely more on their younger talents.

• Predicted lineup: Martínez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Bogarde, Kamara, Malen, McGinn, Rogers, Watkins

Aston Villa's predicted lineup suggests they'll aim to dominate possession with McGinn and Kamara in midfield. Watkins up front will be crucial in breaking down Tottenham's defence.

• Mathys Tel vs Ezri Konsa: This duel will see Tottenham's forward trying to outpace and outmanoeuvre Villa's experienced centre-back.

• João Palhinha vs Morgan Rogers: Tottenham's midfielder will need to keep tabs on Villa's creative force in the middle of the park.

• Mohammed Kudus (Tottenham Hotspur): Kudus's ability to control the midfield and contribute to attacks makes him a vital player for Spurs.

• Lamare Bogarde (Aston Villa): Bogarde's role in midfield will be key to Villa's chances of controlling the game and feeding the ball to their forwards.
