This match is arguably Ange Postecoglou’s biggest in his short Premier League career with this being fourth against fifth on the table and Spurs needing a strong result here to stay in touch of Champions League qualification.
Villa go into this match in strong form, winning four of their last five league games and have Ollie Watkins up front who has the most goal contributions of any player in the league.
Spurs have looked stronger across the past few weeks getting experience in James Maddison and Cristian Romero back from injury and Marcus Bazzano states on the Football Today Podcast that they can gain a point here at Villa Park.

“Although this is one of the hardest venues to play away at, the attacking nature for Tottenham can match Villa here and a high scoring draw looks the most likely result.”

First taking on second, one point separating the two on the table, this is the biggest game of the season and will go a long way to deciding who will take in the EPL title this season.

The Reds are in incredible form, winning eight of their last nine matches and have been unstoppable in all competitions even without stars Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez for multiple matches.
These stars return at the perfect time, taking on City who have won their last five matches comfortably and have the depth to score big against any team.
Marcus Bazzano talks about the stats on the Football Today Podcast that help him lean towards Liverpool in this matchup, “they have only lost one of their last 20 matches against City at Anfield and only two of the last 30 meetings between these team’s have been won by the away side.”

Phil Foden looks to be the one that Liverpool need to stop for the Sky Blues, but with one of the best centre backs in the world, Virgil van Dijk and only conceding one goal in their last five matches they look too strong at home here.

TIP: Liverpool
