Tottenham Secures Narrow Victory Against Wolves, Prepares for Crucial Match against Aston Villa
Tottenham Hotspur aims to strengthen their position in the English Premier League as they head to Villa Park this Sunday. With only four matches remaining, the stakes are high for Spurs under manager Roberto De Zerbi as they seek to avoid relegation.
Currently, Tottenham trails West Ham by a few points, placing them in a precarious situation. The team faces growing injury concerns following their recent 1-0 win over Wolves at Molineux Stadium, which marked their first league victory since December.
Despite the win, Tottenham remains in the relegation zone, holding 18th place with 34 points after results from other matches did not favor them. West Ham’s Callum Wilson scored the decisive goal against Everton, further complicating Tottenham’s struggle.
Aston Villa arrives at this clash after a challenging spell of their own, suffering back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Fulham and Nottingham Forest. Under manager Unai Emery, they face their own challenges as they strive for a Champions League spot.

Team News
Aston Villa
Villa midfielder Amadou Onana is doubtful for this weekend after limping off with a hamstring issue in their last match. Boubacar Kamara is also confirmed to be out, adding to the team’s injury list. Expected to step up, Jadon Sancho will likely continue in an attacking midfield position alongside Morgan Rogers, who seeks to regain form as he eyes a place in the national squad.
Tottenham
The Wolves victory came at a cost for Tottenham, as Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons are set to miss the remainder of the season due to injuries. This adds to a long list of absentees including Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, and Wilson Odobert. Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, and Guglielmo Vicario are also uncertain for the match, while James Maddison hopes for a return from the sidelines.
Predicted Lineup
ASTON VILLA: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Tielemans, Luiz; Rogers, McGinn, Sancho; Watkins
TOTTENHAM: Kinsky; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Bissouma, Bentancur, Gallagher; Kolo Muani, Richarlison, Tel.
Prediction
Tottenham has struggled against Aston Villa, failing to secure a victory in their last four encounters. They have managed just one win in their last nine meetings, a 4-1 victory back in November 2024. With key player Simons out, Tottenham will face significant challenges in their attacking play. Mathys Tel emerges as the main threat in the final third and will need to perform well.
While Tottenham has shown some improvement, achieving a positive result at Villa Park is expected to be quite challenging. My prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Tottenham.
