Tottenham Hotspur look to continue their pursuit of another top four finish when they host an Aston Villa side that suffered their first league loss under new manager Unai Emery their last time out.

Tottenham have conceded the first goal in their last six league matches, but they were still able to avoid defeat in half of those games. Most recently, Harry Kane’s 65th-minute header and a well-taken equalizer from Pierre Hojbjerg six minutes later helped Spurs rescue at 2-2 Boxing Day draw at Brentford.

The next day, Villa were soundly beaten at home by Liverpool in Emery’s fifth game in charge in all competitions since taking over a couple weeks before the World Cup break. Ollie Watkins’ 59th-minute goal closed a deficit to 2-1 for a brief time, but the Villains were ultimately unable to overcome being thoroughly outplayed in the first half.

Spurs won both league meetings last season, including a 4-0 thumping at Villa Park back on April 9. Going back further, Tottenham have a 15-2-1 record (W-L-D) in these teams’ last 18 league meetings.
