Sports News Blitz previews Spurs vs Villa, with stats and betting tips provided.
The tale so far
Spurs come into the weekend just two points off league leaders Arsenal and full of confidence after a gritty 2-1 away win at Leeds.
It wasn’t always pretty at Elland Road, but Frank’s side showed the resilience of a team that believes in something bigger this season.
Villa, meanwhile, have found their rhythm after a stuttering start.
Back-to-back Premier League wins – including a 2-1 victory over Burnley – form part of a four-game winning streak in all competitions.
Donyell Malen is beginning to look like a difference-maker up front, and Emery will be eager to see that continue against a top-tier opponent.

Verdict
Tottenham have looked sharp, structured and increasingly streetwise under Thomas Frank.
Their recent form, depth in attack, and home advantage could prove the difference.
But Villa won’t be short on confidence, and if they can weather the early storm, they’ve shown they have the tools to hurt anyone.
Expect goals, corners, and a tightly contested affair - but Spurs might just edge it.
